I went to one of the recent public meetings for starting all the studies to double track the UP corridor between St. Louis and Chicago for higher speed rail. Apparently UP is currently surveying for adding quad gates, possibly in Springfield.

From the Illinois crossing inventory, the bell position has been modified:

The bell on the SB signal at the Cherry Avenue UP crossing has been changed from a WCH e-bell to a GS-style e-bell (first GS e-bell on the Jefferson City Sub?)
