This crossing was retired on October 20, 2004 after being out of service for a good number of years. All lights were 12"x24", and there's a mechanical bell on the mast signal seen in both pictures. So what's become of these signals?

The mast signal was bought on December 17, 2004 and placed at a private home in Hope, IN where there will be a working outdoor railroad sometime soon. It has been wired up and does work.

 

The cantilever signal has been placed on ebay with a starting bid of $2,000. Two cantilevers existed in the bid, it was probably the other cantilever not pictured from this crossing. The auction ended on December 30, 2004 with no bids.
