PUCO images from the late 90s or early 2000s showing a mix of signals. The northern signal was likely an NYC-era signal with 8" lights, a WCH or Federal Signal gate mechanism and likely a WRRS Mechanical Bell, while the southern signal was a Conrail signal with 8" lights, WCH gate mechanism and no bell. In the early 2010s, these signals were replaced with newer Safetran signals.

In September 2016, we see the DOT signs were turned to face forward.  I didn't notice it at first, but the southern gate was replaced as well.

However, I (Tommy) also came out here in April 2025 for the LED upgrades before I knew Sir Fluent got their own pictures.
