Here's an oddity...

This crossing is on a TC&W spur line that passes through Granite Falls, MN (I'm not sure what purpose it serves, since there appear to be no customer spurs along it).
In 2009 it had Griswold signals:

Sometime between then and 2023 (too bad Google doesn't have more choices available here, especially higher-quality images of the Griswolds while they were still there), they were replaced with a pair of mast signals with a WCH mechanical bell, and what appears to be a very non-standard type of lightheads with traffic-light style visors!

Edit: Found a photo of the Griswolds here, per a comment on it they had been replaced by 2012:
