The northern signal. Quite the mixture of lights on this one.
In April 2022, we see the southern signal
was replaced entirely. The new signal features incandescent lights,
which is becoming rare now on the NS Chicago Line in Ohio. It also had a
WCH gate mechanism and a sideways facing base, also rare for new NS
signals. At the same time, the gate on the northern signal was replaced.

The grade was also partially resurfaced.

In September 2025, Norfolk Southern Railfan discovered that the Hybrid was replaced with a GS E-Bell.
