pictures from the late 90s shows a pair of really old gated signals
likely installed in the 60s by the N&W or PRR, and had 8 inch
US&S(?) incandescents, WRRS gate mechanisms, NEG incandescents and a
WRRS Mechanical Bell. Both signals also had cat-eyed crossbucks and
inverted track signs as well. You can also see an old N&W Position
Light wayside signal near the crossing in Picture O4, which was replaced
in 2012. As for the signals themselves, they would be replaced sometime
in the mid 2000s with newer gated signals.

In August 2025, I discovered that both
signals had recieved track signs and both main road gate arms were
replaced. The grade had also been resurfaced back in 2023. I didn't
realize this while I was out here, but the crossbuck on the eastern
signal had also been replaced.
