PUCO pictures from the early 2000s showing two gated cantilevers with 12"x20" lights. The southern signal south had an older gate mast with an older Safetran gate mechanism, while the northern signal's mast was much newer, appearing to have been installed by NS and had a newer Safetran mechanism and a WCH Mechanical Bell. By 2015, the southern gate mast was replaced, and the WCH bell was replaced by a GS Type 2.
