PUCO pictures from the late 90s or early 2000s showing two Conrail signals with 8" lights, WCH gate mechanisms, and a Safetran Mechanical Bell. By 2018, the M-Bell was replaced by a GS Type 2, and the gates were replaced.

The eastern signal. This one was very similar, but with 4" NEG incandescents and no bell.
Newer wayside signals located next to the crossing.
In the late 2010s or early 2020s, both signals were replaced with newer signals. I photographed them back in 2022, and I swear they had incandescent lights back then, however I lost the photos when my camera was stolen. Either way, the new signals feature LED lights as of 2025.
