This is a double crossing right at the entrance to the UP yard on the southern outskirts of Janesville. The south track is the main, and the north track is the yard lead. All but one of the 10 total pairs of 8" incandescent lights are from WRRS.

Pictures 21-22 show one of the double crossing modes. As a train approaches on the south track, the south-facing lights on the two signals at the north track crossing stay dark, while both bells ring and all the north-facing lights (which we can't see) presumably flash.
The relay case, with the name misspelled as "Reed" Road.
