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.
The western signal appears to be a
newer signal, but reusing a lot of parts (lights, bell, and most likely
gate) from the previous signal, which was a lot like the eastern
signal. They both had US&S E-Bells when installed, but CN
replaced one and silenced the other.
These signals replaced a pair of gateless signals in 2006 or 2007.

By Apri 2019, both the GS and US&S
bells were replaced by Siemens E-Bells, two of the lights on the
western signal were replaced, and the western signal's gate was
restriped. Also, the eastern signal's DOT tag was turned to face
forward, and the western signal had a DOT tag added, even though no
number is listed.
