This crossing is located on the CN Leithon Sub, formerly the EJ&E
Western Sub. UP and BNSF have trackage rights on this line as
well.
I don't know why CN installed a newer
signal on the west side. There used to be one like the eastern
signal on that side. I have a suspicion though. The 1
accident listed above was on 1/11/10 and that could've possibly knocked
down the old western signal, although there's nothing that says that
happened, so it might not've been it, but still; I can't think of any
other reason they would install a newer signal on that side.
The Safetran Type 3 on the eastern signal replaced a US&S E-Bell which replaced a GS E-Bell before that.

In April 2019, we see the DOT signs were turned to face forward, and the gate on the eastern signal was replaced.
