How far south of Syracuse did the double track extend in service? I recall it to be ABS with lower quadrant semaphores past Colvin St., past Brighton AVE., and up thru Rock Cut. Jamesville in the late '40s had an Agent that worked 6 days out of the depot which was equipped with a Train Order Signal. Did the double track extend to (or past) the depot or end somewhere north of there?
