PUCO pictures from the late 90s shows two older FS/WCH cantilever signals with WCH gate mechanisms, FS/WCH 8"x20" incandescents and a Safetran Hybrid Bell. The cantilevers were likely installed by Penn Central while the gate masts were replaced by Conrail.

Between 2009 and 2011, the southern signal was completely replaced. At the time, this signal had 12"x20" Safetran incandescents, a Safetran gate mechanism and a Safetran Type 3 E-Bell. The northern signal remained pretty much unchanged.

By 2016, the northern signal had been replaced with a newer signal. At the time, this signal had 12"x20" Safetran incandescents, a Siemens? gate mechanism, and no bell. The southern signal remained unchanged. At this point, the only thing left from the old setup was the relay bungalow. This didn't last long though as in 2020, this crossing was completely upgraded with 2 brand new cantilever signals, with the bungalow replaced, a pair of side lights being added and the bell being moved to the northern signal.
