During the summer of 2016, the Signal Department of the Illinois Railway Museum installed a pair of vintage crossing gates made by Griswold. These signals represent common railroad crossing protection from the 1950s, complete with porcelain-wrapped steel signs with glass "cat eye" reflectors, glass butterfly-pattern lenses, and wooden "wishbone" gate arms with black-and-white stripes.
