This crossing retains the MoPac bell sequence like with various crossings along the Sedalia Subdivision.

Overview facing north at a pair of older MoPac signals with changes done by UP throughout the years. Overview facing south.
The southern signal:

Front view of the southern signal.
 The signal base on the southern signal is from WABCO.

The light bracket on the southern signal is an older WABCO/US&S light bracket.
 A look at the front lights on the southern signal which feature Electro-Tech LEDs retrofitted in the light frames. The lights are all older US&S 12x20 lights which are becoming rare to find.

The gate mechanism on the southern signal is from Safetran. I suspect a WABCO Model 75 existed here previously given the sheer amount of WABCO/US&S equipment here.
 The bell on the southern signal is a GS Type 2 Electronic Bell which is sadly dead. This bell replaced the original mechanical bell sometime in the 2010s by UP. When the bell worked, it used to only ring while the gates are lowering, and rising.
 The gate on the southern signal features the older vertical striping while the gate lights are all from Electro-Tech.
 The ENS sign at the time of these photos were facing east-west. UP has since repositioned them to be more visible to oncoming traffic as they now face north-south.

A look at the rear lights on the southern signal which feature some more Electro-Tech LEDs in the light frames.

The northern signal:

Front view of the northern signal which features a similar setup as the southern signal with the exception of the bell.
 The signal base on the northern signal is from WABCO.

The light bracket on the southern signal is also from WABCO.
 A look at the front lights on the northern signal which feature also feature Electro-Tech LEDs retrofitted in the older US&S 12x20 lights!

The gate mechanism on the northern signal is from Safetran, and like the southern signal, I suspect a WABCO Model 75 once existed on the northern signal at some point as well.
 The bell on the northern signal is a WCH Electronic Bell which thankfully still works. This bell also replaced the previous mechanical bell at some point in the 2010s by UP, and like the GS Type 2 (before it died), the WCH only rings while the gates are lowering, and rising.
 The gate on the northern signal features the older vertical striping while the gate lights are all from Electro-Tech.
 The ENS sign at the time of these pictures were facing east-west. UP has since repositioned it to be more visible to oncoming traffic similar to the southern signal.
