Up until December of 2007, this crossing had three mast signals that had a total of 5 pairs of Modern Industries 12x24 inch lights, a single 8 inch light used as an indicator to show the crossing was active, and a US&S Teardrop bell.

However, the city of Huntsville had to widen this road so the old signals were removed and the current ones were installed.
