Change at Derrick Street in Huntsville

However, interestingly enough, NS chose to re-use the old signal from Mooresville Road in Bella Mina, though one of the lights was re-used from the previous signal at Derrick Street and the gate arm and RECO LED gate lights are brand new:
They/Them for me, please.

I thought the old equipment was recycled, has it just been sitting in storage?
