These gated signals were installed in 2004 when they replaced the previous gate-less signals. Both signals have unmarked bases, Safetran gate mechanisms, Westinghouse LED lights and Safetran Type 3 electronic bells which replaced the original WC Hayes mechanical bells some time after 2010. The bell on the eastern signal rings from start up until the gates have lowered, while the bell on the western signal rings throughout the entire activation.
The gate-less signal on the western side is a more recent addition, being installed some time between 2008 and 2010. It has an unmarked base and a pair of Westinghouse LED lights.
