PUCO images from the late 90s or early 2000s showing two early Conrail signals with 8" lights, WABCO Model 75 mechanisms, and a WRRS or WCH Mechanical Bell. By 2018, the M-Bell was replaced with a GS E-Bell, and the southern signal was replaced with a reused Conrail/NYC signal, likely being a knockdown replacement.
