Really surprising... those signals looked to be in very pristine shape. Railroad must've had some dirty upgrade money sitting around to burn.
Well,

We had a set of Griswold signals here in Oskaloosa,Iowa until about a year and a half ago on South 11th street on the former C&NW branch
line that crossed highway 23.The Griswold signals were replaced with standard crossing signals no gates.the Griswold signals didn't have an operating stop sign on them.
