In the late 2000s, NS installed brand new Safetran signals here with 12"x20" Safetran incandescents, Safetran 2000s gate mechanisms, and a low tone Safetran Type 3 E-Bell. Later on in the 2010s, the road was modified slightly from being 2 lanes with a median turn lane to having 2 full SB lanes and 1 NB lane. In the process, NS installed a new cantilever on the north side, while keeping the same mast signal in place.
