The western signal. Both signals had WABCO Model 75 gate mechanisms at this point.
An old gateless, a couple gates, and a
dwarf wayside signal sit just north of the crossing. I'm not sure
where any of these came from.

In November 2016, we see the DOT signs
were turned to face forward, the grade was resurfaced, and the western
gate was replaced.
JUNE 2025 UPDATE: Sir Fluent here. Since Tommy
was last out here, a minor change was made to the crossing.

On 5-25-25, Nicholas Miles made a return
trip to this crossing and discovered the bell was replaced with a
General Signals Type 3 E-Bell.
Tommy again: Turns out there was actually a fairly major update that was overlooked. The gate masts were replaced entirely with reused masts. These came from State St. #3 in Fremont, OH, after the old signals there were replaced in 2017. I'm not sure when they were installed here though.

Photos of the update. Interesting to note that the bases went from double sided to single sided.
