PUCO pictures from the late 90s or early 2000s showing a classic cantilever setup. By 2018, the only major change was the gates being replaced.

The northern signal.  The hybrid here doesn't work, but is still here as of August 2019. All of the lights were 8" Safetran lights.

The southern signal.  Nice to see a WRRS bell still on the Chicago Line, albeit it is starting to die. The lights were a mix of Safetran and RACO 8" lights.

In October 2021, we see the dead Safetran Hybrid was replaced with a GS Type 3, and both gates were replaced. The WRRS bell still remains.

In April 2025, we see the gate masts were replaced entirely! What makes this really funny is that the northern signal's GS Type 3 was on the gate mast, so that Type 3 got replaced by a newer Type 3. However, with the southern signal, the WRRS bell is mounted on the cantilever, so with the LEDs and the gate masts now replaced, the WRRS bell still lives on, surviving many generations of equipment that have come and gone here.
