The eastbound shoulder signal has a WC Hayes mechanical bell, a Harmon Electronics gate mechanism, and Federal Signal/Western Cullen 12"x20" incandescent lights. One of the lights got turned backwards, it was most likely hit by a passing truck since there are so many driving around in this industrial area.
