Anyone else remember the double wigwag in Indiana?

Or at least what was left of it? Well, we've all known for a while that the wigwags were removed and replaced with a set of 3 pairs of MI/Harmon 12x24s on the same mast that they came from, as seen here:

Well, it turns out more recently that someone in the area was finally able to get a video at the crossing, and it turns out that the signal in question has since been replaced by a pair of standard mast signals!


And for those who are curious, here's how the signal looked in years past:

I also seem to recall Mike H. remarking about how ugly the "upgraded" mast looked, and wondering why they didn't just tear it down and put up a pair of standard signals... Looks like they finally made it happen.
They/Them for me, please.
