This crossing owned by the Sacramento Southern Railroad is built out of a SP 1980s signal install installed in the early 2000s for its cantilevers and gated masts being a SSRR Early 2000s signal installs. Since the cantilevers were installed here the bells and lights were its changes. The gated mast changes were to its gate, and gate lights were its changes and wayside signals aren't original to here.
