| Sometime in the early 2000s, NS replaced the old signals here with new ones. These new signals are essentially a mix of Conrail and NS parts, having shorter masts and bases like NS, but gate mechanisms, lights, and gates like Conrail. Oddly enough, even though it's a complete new install with bungalow and all. By 2018, the gates were replaced, but otherwise the signals remain the same. |

| In the early 2020s, NS replaced with the 8" lights with 12"x20" Safetran frames with GE Uniform Look LEDs, with the crossing now basically looking like an NS install, just with WCH gate mechanisms and no bells. However, by the time I made it out here in 2025, NS replaced the signals entirely with brand new WCH signals, the first time I've seen such an install. |
