PUCO images from the late 90s or early 2000s showing an older Conrail gated
setup with 8" lights, WABCO Model 75 gate mechanisms
and likely a WCH M-Bell. In the early 2010s, NS replaced these signals with newer Safetran signals.

In April 2025, we see the lights were

time to wait for it to move, so this was all I got.
