Streetview
images from August 2021 shows this crossing originally having
incandescent lights before KCS upgrading them to LEDs. The northern
signal originally had all 4 pairs of L&W 12x20 lights
before two of the lights were clipped off of the light bracket, and
were replaced with Safetran 12x24s as seen in the photos below.

Front
view of the southern signal where we see the lights are a mixture of
12x20 and 12x24s.
The base
on the southern signal is a clamp style base from an unknown company.
Possibly WRRS.
The
lights
on the southern signal originally had all 4 pairs of 12x20 lights, but
the left
pairs of lights were replaced at some point in either 2022, or 2023.
More than likely they were wiped out by an impatient motorist.

This

Rear view
of
the southern signal with its mismatched lights which kinda look goofy
in my opinion. It appears this signal is a bit newer than the southern
signal.

Front
view of
the northern signal. It appears this signal was original to the
crossing, but with some changes done by KCS at some point.
The
lights
on the northern signal still retain a full pair of L&W
12x20
lights from the Gateway Western days, albeit with Leotek EV Series LEDs
in the light frames.

the northern signal which appears to been here longer than the northern
