Pictures 19-28 were taken on December 21, 2007.

The eastbound signal is shown in action from the front on this foggy day.

 

Pictures 29-37 were taken on September 30, 2009. On that day, a Balfour Beatty Rail signal maintainer crew contracted by WSOR took down the 8" WRRS lights and replaced them with 12" x 24" WCH frames with WCH 2nd Generation L.E.D. lights. This is the 7th former 8" crossing along this line to have that done in 2009.

Since the upgrade wasn't complete at this time, flaggers had to assist with stopping traffic.
