mechanism.

In October 2025, Nicholas Miles
discovered that the CSX signal was replaced. Much of the equipment is
new, the base is new, the gate mechanism is new, and the bell is new.
The gate arm was reused from the previous setup I think, but had 2 of
its gate lights replaced. The light frames were likely pulled from a
late-2000s CSX signal from storage and used here, along with the LEDs.

As for the NS signal, it recieved a tracks
sign, a new bell, and a new gate arm with RECO LEDs. Surprisingly, this
signal didn't get an LED upgrade at all.
