The southern signal. This had the same parts, but with no bell.
In
June 2015, we see the white DOT signs with new blue ones. The

was repainted as well.

In October 2016, we see the DOT signs were turned to face forward.
Both gates were replaced (the northern in 2015 and the southern in
2016) and both have NEG LED gate lights now. The grade was
also resurfaced.
Sometime between 2018 and 2020, these signals were replaced with newer Siemens signals, still with incandescent lights, plus an older Safetran Type 3 E Bell.
