pictures from the late 90s and early 2000s shows a gateless
setup. Both
signals had 8"x20" incandescents, while one signal had a
General
Signals E-Bell, which replaced a WRRS? Mechanical Bell.
Around the
2000s, the lights on the CSX signal were replaced with
12"x24" Safetran
incandescents, then the crossing was entirely upgraded in
the 2010s.
