This signal got hit by something!

Seems to be prone to getting hit:

And in 2014, one of the lights was missing the back part of it, but the LED, background, and visor were all still attached to the signal!

And here it is being worked on!

Seems that after so many "hits" they would consider moving the signal back and to the right a bit to keep this from happening.

Google caught it active in 2008 as well. Notice in these shots the "side" lights are on the bottom. They obviously changed the configuration (several times it appears) in an attempt to keep it from getting damaged so often. Obviously that didn't work out too well.

Looks like they were WCH 1st Gen LEDs at the time:

Classic signals.

The Griswold Type-Bs mixed in there certainly makes the one cantilever look a bit weird:

Odd gate mechanisms from the same line as the one above.
