In April 2023, we see the lights were upgraded to LED, and the GS E Bell was replaced by an NEG E Bell.

NOVEMBER 2025 UPDATE: Sir Fluent here. Since Tommy was last out here, a major change was made to the crossing. The northern signal didn't change too much, but the southern signal was replaced entirely. I'm not sure why, since there hasn't been an accident report for this crossing at all, my assumption is that it got knocked over at some point.
