Overview of 2 crossbucks and a traffic light setup facing south.
In 2022, this crossing was completely redone. The street running was removed, and the mainline was made double tracked. In the process, South Shore installed two brand new WCH signals with 4 pedestrian gates. They also installed a traffic cantilever with an extra set of crossing lights which looks really weird.
