By Summer 2018, a new cantilever and mast signal were installed along with 3 pedestrian gates. No parts from the old installation were reused, not even the newer gate mechanisms. Oddly enough though, it appears the relay bungalow was either replaced or turned. Compare Pictures 28 and 76 to see the difference.
