PUCO pictures from the late 90s shows a mix of signals. The western signal was a gated CR cantilever signal with 12"x24" WCH incandescents, a WCH gate mechanism and a Safetran Hybrid Bell. The eastern signal was a N&W? PRR? signal with 8"x20" incandescents, a WRRS mechanical bell and a Safetran gate mechanism. By 2014, the lights on the NS signal were replaced with 12"x20" incandescents.

In October 2025, we see that the NS signal was replaced. This did not actually replace the previous signal that was here before as it replaced a previous signal that looked like this one, but it had incandescents and Safetran equipment. Very neat to see Safetran Fading LEDs on a more recent NS setup. Guessing they were reused from somewhere.

As for the CSX signal, the Hybrid Bell was sadly replaced and all the lights were upgraded to LED. 2 of the gate lights were also replaced with NEG LEDs.
