The eastern signal. Both signals had WRRS bases, 12"x20" FS frames with Dialight Ball LEDs, and 4" RECO LEDs. This had one WCH frame and a WCH Style 3 mechanism.

The western signal. This had a rare WCH Style 1 mechanism and a GS Type 2 E Bell.
In February 2025, we see work was underway to replace the signals here. A new foundation was in place for the western signal, albeit with a bent stud, and another foundation for the eastern signal was still on a work truck. This appears to be reused, possibly from Euclid Ave. in Princeon, which had a newer foundation. It does not look like a new bungalow will be installed here.

BNSF is going to use these signals, which came from from 2150th St. in Galva after that crossing was closed. They had been sitting in Galva for several months at this point. By late March, the signals were installed at the crossing.
