They actually did a good job with the boarding process!

Just east of Woodside on the southernmost track. It looked like they were jacking up one of the middle axles on one of the larger track machines.

Is Posillico expanding again? The building along the sidings was taken down.

164 at the East side of Jamaica still.

167 and 172 on the sidings west of Hicksville.

They just towed Kitchi Gammi Club through NY Penn Station track 10. Not sure if they were taking it off or putting in on but they were heading east through the station.

And another 4 in Hicksville - 152 and 167 were amongst them.

164 is the Jamaica Protect - 163 and 168 were bracketing the alcohol car just west of the station about 5 minutes ago westbound.

Matt, there are prefabricated tie sections laid out on the north side of the tracks west of Ocean Ave that go for a good stretch of the way toward Connetquot state park. Once you get closer to the park there is still a lot of grading work to be done.

The section of panel track used for the publicity photo is still there. New continuous rail laying on the north side as well. Let's see what this weekend and the w...

Matt, no second track yet at Pond Road or Ocean Avenue crossings.

Yes, and thank you!

The track off the new switch is ballasted and set all the way down to the pilgrim siding. The existing switch and siding are still intact. There is a prefabricated switch lying adjacent to where the switch was removed from the west end at Pine Aire.

It looks like a new switch was cut in just east of the crossing at the Deer Park station and a section of track extending east to the current Pilgrim siding. The track isn't set or ballasted so it looks like there is more work to be done by the existing Pilgrim switch and the west end of Pineaire wh...

Central Islip west to the 111 crossing the roadbed area is cleared and graded on the south side. Some preparation of the sub roadbed is in progress.
