Pictures 8-48 were taken on October 18, 2025, by KCMO Railfan.

This crossing is located on the UP Salina Subdivision.

The relay case.

Facing East.

Facing West.

Both signals have Safetran mechanical bells, and Safetran 12"x20" frames with UP LEDs inside of them.

A view of one of the signals.

A return visit to the crossing on October 18, 2025, by KCMO Railfan shows some minor changes that occurred here since 2008. The daily train count has sadly went down from 8 in 2000 to only 4 in 2025.

The northern signal still retains its 2 pairs of older 12x20s featuring Electro-Tech (formerly known as "UP LEDs") retrofitted in the existing light frames.	Close up at one of the Electro-Tech LEDs on the northern signal.	The ENS sign was added to this signal sometime in the mid 2010s. UP repositioned it in late 2023 to be more visible to oncoming traffic.

The signal base on the northern signal is from Safetran.	The gate mechanism on the northern signal is also from Safetran.	The light bracket on the northern signal is from Safetran as well.	The lights on the northern signal are all from Safetran.

Close up at one of the Safetran lights on the northern signal.	The bell on the northern signal is now a GS Electronic Bell. Likely replaced the previous Safetran Mechanical Bell sometime around the early to mid 2010s.	The gate on the northern signal now features the vertical striping while the gate lights are a mixture of Electro-Tech, and RECO gate lights!

Front view of the southern signal which features a similar setup as the northern signal with the exception of this signal having a mechanical bell.	A look at the front lights on the southern signal.	Like the northern signal, the southern signal also still retains its 2 pairs of older 12x20s once again featuring Electro-Tech (formerly known as "UP LEDs") retrofitted in the existing light frames.

Close up at one of the Electro-Tech LEDs on the southern signal.	The southern signal also received its ENS sign sometime around the mid 2010s, and was also repositioned around 2023 to be more visible to oncoming traffic.	The signal base on the southern signal is from Safetran.

Thankfully the southern signal still retains its original Safetran Mechanical Bell!	Front view of the Safetran Mechanical Bell.	The gate on the southern signal now features the vertical striping, and like the gate on the northern signal, the southern signal's gate lights are also a mixture of Electro-Tech, and RECO gate lights!
