PUCO pictures from the late 90s or early 2000s showing a mixed setup. There was a Conrail signal with 8" lights, a WCH gate mechanism, and no bell, and there was an NYC era signal with 8" lights, a WRRS or GRS gate mechanism, and no bell. In the mid 2000s, both signals were replaced with new Safetran signals, and in the mid 2010s, the southern signal was replaced again.
