| Older Low Quality Google Maps Streetview imagery from October of 2009 shows the crossing originally having older WCH signals with the eastern signal having a WCH Mechanical Bell while the western signal having a WCH Electronic Bell. A return visit by Google in May of 2015 shows that UP replaced the signals here with newer WCH signals with both signals having WCH Electronic Bells at the time. The western signal also had a full set of WCH 2nd Gen LEDs in the WCH light frames. In a strange move sometime in the late 2010s/early 2020s, UP swapped out two of the WCH 2nd Gen LEDs on the main sets of lights on the western signal with WCH Clear LEDs, while one of the side lights on the same signal had its WCH 2nd Gen LED swapped out with an Electro-Tech LED. Both WCH E-Bells were also swapped out with GS Electronic Bells at the same time as well. | |||

A look at
the front lights on the western signal. |
We find
that the main pairs of lights on the western signal feature two pairs
of 12x24 lights with the front lights featuring a mixture of WCH 2nd
Gen, and WCH Clear LEDs. |

This LED was reused from another crossing somewhere on the UP. |

| The bell
on the western signal is a GS Electronic Bell which replaced the
original WCH Electronic Bell here sometime in the late 2010s. I suspect
this one's a type 3. |
The gate
on the western signal features the older vertical striping while the
gate lights are from Alstom-Aurora. |

A look at the front lights on the eastern signal. Thankfully this signal retains its original LEDs from when the signal was installed! | The eastern signal features two pairs of 12x24 lights with WCH 2nd Gen LEDs
in the light frames. |

The bell
on the eastern signal is a GS Electronic Bell which was installed
sometime in the late 2010s replacing a WCH Electronic Bell. I also
suspect this one's a Type 3 as well. |
