By the time 2014 rolled around, one signal was missing its gate. The other signal lost its crossbuck

When 2016 came, the signals had been removed, and the sidewalks redone, a buffer was added at one end of the crossing, so i'm unsure if its used for car storage.

The next crossing looks to be WRRS equipment.
2009.

Still no change in 2012.

The only change was in 2014 was when the tracks were lifted on both sides, the signals remained untouched.

However, by 2016, the signals were removed. The abandoned relay cases still stand, although disconnected.

First is WRRS, second is WCH/Safetran.
They/Them for me, please.

Those signals no longer exist and haven't since at least 2013 or 2014.

That's the BNSF Sumas Subdivision in the present day. I film the switcher on that line at least once a week. Sorry about the extremely late bump.

In July of 2012, the crossbucks and lights were still intact.

Looks like those were older lights from before the UK adopted the yellow light, though one looks to be a newer Forrest City Wigwag that's had the yellow light removed! The others appear to be older Forrest City Wigwags that didn't ever have yellow lights with newer (and ugly) borders tacked on the back-side of them. The original white borders could still be seen:
