Nice find!

Looks like they might have planned at one time for at least lights... since the mast on the other side is a standard mast (and not wooden or something simpler). I don't see any markings on either pole that would suggest there were lights on them at one time and then they were removed.

The signals actually had lights. I believe they were WRRS 8 inch incandescents. Here are some screenshots from street view before it was updated:

It appears that a visor was missing from one of the lights.

Two in St. Louis, MO, both on the UP line along the Mississippi. One was on Mott Street, can't remember the other one. Mott Street has two m-bells, the other a WCH e-bell, but used to have an m-bell.

That crossing was featured in this recent news report:

The neighboring crossing has a mechanical bell. I think it is made by WRRS but I'm not sure.
