The southern signal. The GRS
light bracket was especially an interesting touch.
In October 2016, we see the DOT signs
were turned to face forward, the grade was resurfaced, and the southern
gate was replaced.
JUNE 2025 UPDATE: Sir Fluent here. Since Tommy
was last out here, a few changes were made to the crossing.

I (Tommy) also made a trip here a month
earlier to get the LED update, though when I was here, the southern
signal's gate was really faded on the front, which has since been fixed.
