signals with 8" lights, WCH gate mechanisms and a WCH Mechanical Bell.
By 2015, nothing had changed here.

The northern
signal. This had a MI base, 8" Safetran incandescents, a
WCH Style 3 gate mechanism, 4" NEG incandescents, and a 2nd Gen WCH
M-Bell. Also, interesting that it not only has a Harmon font crossbuck,
but also a Harmon font tracks sign, which seems to be pretty
rare.

The southern signal. This had similar parts, but with a WCH base and no bell.
In September 2016, we see the DOT signs were turned to face forward.

In April 2025, we see all of the lights
were upgraded to LED. The southern signal's gate was also replaced. This
wouldn't last too long though, as by August 2025, both signals were
replaced with new Siemens signals.
