PUCO images from the late 90s or early 2000s showing two early Conrail signals with 8" LEX-C lights, WABCO Model 75 mechanisms, and a WCH or WRRS Mechanical Bell. By the early 2010s, these were replaced with newer NS Safetran signals.

In April 2025, we see both gates were replaced, and somehow, the GS E-Bell on the southern signal got damaged.

I also discovered that there's another crossing inside of the Con Agra facility just east of here. Since it's inside the facility, I couldn't get closeup images, but the signals appear to have WCH bases, 12"x20" LEDs, WCH Red LEDs, WCH gate mechanisms, and WCH E-Bells.
