CN Joliet, IL Crossings

I drove through Joliet today and CN is working on adding a second track to the former EJ&E line east of Joliet. This crossing has a new signal on the north side that looks similar to the old one, except that it is newer and it has a Safetran type 3 e bell. The double track there is pretty much done and the road has been repaved. Also there is a new bungalow behind the old one. I didn't get any pictures as I didn't have time to do too many things. Also at Rowell Ave. there is a new base sitting on the ground on the north side, plus for some reason it got a new gate with new stripes. IDK if this signal will be moved or a brand new signal will take its place, but we'll find out. Also there is a machine by the old bungalow, but no signs of a new one yet. The road has markings on it for when it will be resurfaced soon. Pictures will come soon of this. Also Spencer Rd. to the east is closed, but no new signals yet.
