This signal protects an alleyway going north of the crossing.
A very neat C&O logo mounted on a nearby house along the alley.

Also, that nearby house seen in Pictures
33 & 34 now has a display signal! It has an unmarked base, 8" WCH
incandescents, and a black two tracks sign. The white DOT sign actually
came from East Ave. here in town, which was one of the last crossings on
the Willard Sub to retain its white tags.

There's also a relay bungalow next to the house as well.
A nice comparison between the display signal and the actual signal in use on CSX right now.
NOVEMBER 2025 UPDATE: Sir Fluent here. Since Tommy was last out here, a minor change was made to the crossing.
