This crossing is located on the NS Fostoria District.


These signals were installed between 2019 and 2020 replacing a pair of late 2000s NS gated cantilever signals.

INDOT pictures from 2002 shows an older gateless setup from the N&W era featuring 8 inch Safetran incandescents and no bells.

In 2008, both signals were replaced with new gated cantilever signals. At the time, these signals had all 12"x20" Safetran incandescents, Safetran gate mechanisms, a Safetran Type 3 E-Bell, and NEG incandescents.

In 2014, we see that both gate arms were mostly restriped, with the tip of the gate arms still retaining the diagonal striping.

Finally, around 2018, we see that the gate arm on the southern signal was fully restriped and blue DOT tags were added to replace the white ones. Between 2019 and 2020, the road was widened and as a result of it being at the crossing, both signals were replaced with newer ones after only 12 years in service.

The northern signal. For some strange reason, even though this is a newer install, both signals somehow feature NEG LEDs instead of RECO LEDs. Not sure if they had RECO LEDs when they were installed back in 2020.
