In November 2025, freebrickproductions made a stop here on their way to Milwaukee and made it just in the nick of time, as CN was in the process of installing new Siemens signals here. The new signals will have 12"x24" Safetran frames with GE Uniform Look LEDs, Siemens S-80 gate mechanisms, and a WCH E-Bell. The same relay bungalow will be reused. The existing signals saw little to change leading up to this point.
