The
western signal. Both pairs of gates appeared to be added onto
this former gateless cantilever setup, but I'm not sure why the extra
crossbucks were installed.

The eastern
signal. A GS E bell was also added on this side in addition to
the WCH bell already here. Yet, the GS bell is dead and the WCH
bell still rings.

The relay bungalow in the southeast quadrant.
The main track's grade is wood and asphalt, and the siding's is rubber and asphalt.
The little switcher
assigned to this elevator, plus a few CSX engines that were waiting to
take a grain train out. The 5205 was being used to switch the
grain cars instead of the switcher, as seen in the video below.

In March 2026, Nicholas Miles
discovered the mast lights were upgraded to LED and the eastern signal's
gate was replaced. Also, the WCH M-Bell is now dead and the GS E-Bell
has surprisingly not been replaced.
