This crossing is located on the CN Leithton Sub, formerly the EJ&E Western Sub.  UP and BNSF have trackage rights on this line as well.

These signals replaced a pair of gateless signals in late 2007.  Here's a video from one of my friends just before they were replaced.  You can see the new bungalow on the left.  Here's another from a month before that one.
