PUCO images from the late 90s or early 2000s showing 2 old Griswold signals with 8" lights, Safetran gate mechanisms and Griswold Mechanical Bells. By 2024, both gates and crossbucks had been replaced, but the crossing thankfully retained its classic 8" lights.

In March 2026, I (Sir Fluent) saw no changes were made to the crossing. (aside from the Rough Crossing signs being added.) However, this would be the last time I would see the classic 8" lights at this crossing...

Because by April 2026, I discovered that all the lights were sadly upgraded to LED... A sad end to the old 8" Griswold lights at this crossing. The Griswold bells still remain here thankfully.

The old DT&I wayside signal thankfully still stands near this crossing.
I'm not sure what signal this gate came off of, but its pretty broken now.
