Union Pacific installed a new signal here (on the left) about a decade ago, but still has yet to activate it. Instead, an old Rio Grande signal displays a green signal, indicating the next three blocks are unoccupied. This signal is visible for US-85, and I have specific memories of looking at this signal when I would go out train chasing with my dad when I was a kid. This old signal is specifically is very nostalgic for me!
