from the late 90s or early 2000s showing a mix of signals with 8" lights, WCH and likely a FS gate mechanism and no bells.
There were also 2 pedestrian gates with GRS Type B gate mechanisms. In
the late 2000s, both of the road signals were replaced with newer
Safetran signals, while the pedestrian gates had their gate mechanisms
replaced with older WCH ones. Those likely came from the former road
signals themselves.

The southern
pedestrian gate. Not sure why this one crossing has pedestrian
gates from the Conrail era on the Chicago Line, and no others do.
In September 2025, Norfolk Southern Railfan
discovered all the lights were upgraded to LED, plus the bell was
replaced. I'm still surprised that these CR-era pedestrian gate signals
are still going.
