When will these be turned on? And will turnouts go to remote operation with their activation?

From what I can see, ND, SN, and AG will be interlocked and WH/BH will become Double Ended Freight Tracks (no signals are up there at this point). Montauk has a Color Position Light west of the station and an ASC Box on the platform.
I've heard SN siding, once interlocked, will be renamed RPK Interlocking in honor of Raymond P. Kenny who had a 44 year career at the railroad.

My notes and information are from the system public timetable dated October 10, 1922, corrected to February 23, 1923. During this period they did not use two words for Rail Road, it was the Long Island Railroad. Noel Weaver
