INDOT pictures from the early 2000s showing two very old gated signals with 8" lights, likely Transport Products gate mechanisms, and no bells.

By 2009, both signals were replaced with newer Safetran signals with 12"x20" lights and Safetran gate mechanisms.

By August 2023, work was underway to replace these signals. NS had installed and activated the new southern signal, while the northern signal was installed but with no gate and the lights bagged up. These images are from October 2024, but literally nothing had changed between August 2023 and October 2024. I'm not sure what took NS so long to finish this, but it was completed by the time I got here in November 2025.
