At some point in 2017, the 20" backgrounds on the southern signal
were changed to 24" ones, and the lights were upgraded to LED, and the
rear lights on the northern signal were completely replaced.

The grade was also resurfaced with rubber and asphalt.
By 2020, both signals here were replaced with new Siemens signals. By the time I got here in 2022 and 2023, something else was happening as well.
Conduit was seen all around the crossing, and a newer relay bungalow was seen behind the current relay case. It's a 2000s era bungalow from the North Baltimore area, where they built the intermodal terminal in the late 2000s and the crossing was removed in the process. As of June 2024, the bungalow still hasn't been activated.
