Photos from November 2008.  I got here just in time to see the old gateless signals before they were replaced.  At first, I thought maybe they were just being moved because it looked like the southern signal had been moved already, but of course I was wrong.  Note in Picture 9 that both the old and new relay cases have the power off light turned on.
The old signals had 12"x20" WCH incandescents, WRRS bases, and a GS Type 2 E-Bell.

The new signals were installed later in 2008 or very early 2009.  The only changes the new signals have seen since have been the replacement of the crossbucks with double sided ones and the addition of blue DOT signs.
