In July 2025, Nicholas Miles discovered that all the lights were upgraded to LED. But in the most interesting way. The southern signal has all 12"x24" Safetran frames while the northern signal has 12"x24" Safetran frames and 12"x20" MI frames. I don't know why they did it like that. The gate mechanisms were also replaced, along with the crossbucks and gate arms.
