PUCO images from the late 90s or early 2000s showing 2 Conrail signals with 8" lights, WCH gate mechanisms and a Safetran Hybrid Bell. By 2017, both gates were replaced, and the hybrid was replaced with a Siemens E-Bell.

In October 2023, we see the southern signal's gate lights were replaced, but aside from that, this crossing still retains its 8" lights. However, the crossing was becoming a quiet zone at this point.

In September 2025, Norfolk Southern Railfan discovered that the gate lights on the southern signal were indeed RECO LEDs and the Siemens E-Bell was replaced with a GS Type 3 E-Bell. Very interestingly, all the lights here are still 8". but now the crossing is a quiet zone crossing.

In the 2nd video below, you can see that the gate mechanism was open on the southern signal. The reason for this was because the gate mechanism was pumping pretty badly, which was causing the signal to shake. This appears to happen normally at this crossing and has happened a couple times. Not sure why NS hasn't replaced the darn thing.
