For some very weird reason, there is only one signal here on this two-way road! The lights appear to be 8" RACO.

The FRA report may give a clue to why the crossing only has one signal. The latest report (says 2005, although DGNO is being lazy), shows that the crossing used to have a wigwag. Somehow I disagree with what the FRA says, especially since this signal looks like it's been here a while.

 

Anyways, DGNO really needs to put another signal in where the crossbuck is at. They should put in another 8" signal, not 12"x20", or 12"x24" and mix them up. Another similar signal like this is what this crossing really needs.
