This crossing is located on the CF&E Lima Subdivision.

These signals were installed in late 2025 replacing a pair of gateless signals with 12"x24" Safetran frames that had Harmon Fading LEDs and no bells.

By 2013, all the lights were upgraded to LED, and by 2023, the only changes made to this crossing since then was the crossbucks were replaced. However, by late 2025, these were replaced with new Siemens gated signals with a twist, as this is one of the first crossings in Ohio with Siemens S-80 gate mechanisms.
