Google Streetview images from February 2016 showing a double crossing setup with 2 gated signals with 2 gateless signals in the middle. In 2017, UP decided to install a new relay bungalow here, but they did not replace the signals. Instead, the gateless signals were removed without replacement, leaving just the gated signals!
