Streetview images from 2007 showing two gateless signals with 8" lights and no bells. At this point, a new relay bungalow was about to be installed. I don't believe new signals were installed at this time, but by 2013, new WCH gateless signals replaced the old ones.

The northern signal. Both signals had WCH bases, 12"x24" 2nd Gen WCH LEDs, and no bells.
I didn't notice at the time, but if you look closely, you can see conduit surrounding the crossing again. Big changes were coming to this crossing.

A return trip in November 2020 reveals that CSX was in the process of installing brand new gated cantilevers here. The new northern signal had been erected with lights turned away and a new relay bungalow was also installed, only 13 years after the previous one was. By early 2021, the new cantilevers were finished and activated.
