This crossing is located on the Illinois Railnet's Rockford Branch, and is next to where IR used to keep its engine when the local wasn't running.  Now they keep it in Rockford.

These signals were installed in 2014 replacing a pair of crossbucks.

In June 2025, we see the western signal's GS E-Bell was replaced by a WCH E-Bell. Also by this point, this line was basically abandoned, as the line was cut south of Davis Junction.
