I happened to come up to Wilmington at the same that the old western signal was being replaced by a new cantilever. On this day, they removed the old mast signal and put up the new mast for the cantilever. They reused the same gate and bell from the old signal.
One thing that was weird the old signal is that the lights on it were brand new GE Dotted LEDs. They were installed sometime after late November, so they only in service for a maximum of 2 months. From what I was told by a UP employee, the original plan was to just add the extra signals to make it quad gated, but then they decided to give it cantilevers as well. I forgot to ask about whether this section of the line was going to be double tracked soon or not.
About a month later, another cantilever was installed replacing the old eastern signal. As of 3/13/18, the gates on the new exit signals still haven't been installed. I included Amtrak's 22 and 21 in this video, but I also have separate uploads of them as well.
