Why was perfectly good lights and bells with entirely new equipment when you can do that?

Josh, those crossings are old setups, L&N back in the day set up all their signals on separate masts.
Also Seaboard Coast/Air Lines had some weird installs too, many people think these crossings are former wig wags that is not the case with these.
