In 2012, the grade was resurfaced during the 110 mph track upgrade.
Around the same time, the gate holders were replaced.
Sometime in 2014, blue DOT signs were added to the main signals.

This massive setup replaced a pair of crossbucks in the early 2000s.
When originally installed, the gates had 4" WCH incandescent lights,
but around 2009 or 2010, they were upgraded to Aurora LED. I'm
not sure when the Electro-Tech's LED was installed on the eastern exit signal.
