Looks like signal maintenance:

Cool older block signal there as well. :TUP2:

A couple of long cantilevers here:

Since been replaced with a couple of shorter ones, though it appears that much of the equipment here was re-used:

Believe I posted about those a while back. They replaced some classic SAL equipment:

One of the signals had a light missing as well, apparently:

Only the gate mechs really. One of the gate arms (along with the bell and lights on the same signal) were more recently replaced:

Personally, I'm just glad that the classic WRRS gate mechanism remains in service. :TUP2:
