PUCO images from the late 90s or early 2000s showing two NYC era signals with 8" lights, WRRS or GRS gate mechanisms, and no bells. Both signals were replaced in the early 2000s under NS ownership, but oddly, they used Conrail style signals, likely holdovers from after the merger. Oddly though, this crossing also got a new relay bungalow, but it remains bell-less.
