The southern signal. Both signals had WCH bases and 12"x20" Safetran Fading LEDs.
In 2022 going into 2023, this crossing was completely redone. The street running along 10th St. was removed, and the mainline was relocated a little to the south and made double tracked. In the process, South Shore installed 2 new WCH signals and 4 pedestrian gates.
