The second signal is a bit unusual, as one of the pairs of sidelights is just facing towards some trees! Previously, as can be seen on Google Street View, there was another old L&N-era. signal with three pairs of lights, but it appears that it got hit so CSX replaced it with the current signal.

However, while the old signal had two pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights and one pair of WCH 12x24 inch lights (all with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs), the new signal was installed with an extra pair of lights. I'm honestly not sure why CSX hasn't removed the unnecessary lights, though they probably should.
