The southern signal was replaced once again! The mast is now shorter again, and now has a WCH gate mechanism and RECO LEDs. The northern signal continues to live on, but as mentioned above, it recieved an LED upgrade and had its crossbuck and bell replaced. The gate arm was also replaced, but the gate lights were retained.
