In September 2024, I (Sir Fluent)
came back out to this crossing and found out the gate lights on the
southern signal were replaced with NEG LEDs.

However, in August 2025, we see that
the northern signal was replaced! Everything appears to be new except
for the gate arm, which had one of its gate lights replaced with an NEG
LED. Also for whatever reason, this new signal has a GSI Gate Saver.
