The western signal. Couple things to note. I've never seen a Safetran 1990s gate mechanism on an ex-CR setup. Not sure what crossing had this previously. Second, the bell has gone through several changes before winding up with the current one. Starting off as a mechanical bell, going to a GS E-Bell, being replaced with a mechanical bell before it was replaced for one final time with the current E-Bell.

The eastern signal. This did have an older gate mechanism previously before it was replaced by CSX.

The additional signal. I'm not sure why CR chose to install this signal here. Probably due to a smaller scale version of Center Street crossing here. On another note, this is the first time I've seen a WCH logo on these cantilevers, pretty neat.
