In Single Track 251 Manual Block Territory, you also have Distant Switch Indicators. These protect these switches and will display a Caution Indication if there is a facing point switch opened ahead. In this instance, it could've been a trailing point switch, or the switch was thrown after the train had past the DSI. Being that it was Bridgehampton, I'd say it was the latter. And the engineer would not see the switch until the last second as there is a blind left handed curve.
