It is my understanding that there was a wye at one time at Dover Plains for turning locomotives. In looking at this aerial photo, am I correct in assuming that the former wye is at the upper left of the photo - defined now by a tree-line?

correct, there also use to be a turntable in same area where now the new parking lot is, the turn table was to light and short for newer power so a wye was built.

Thanks Dutch. Interesting. I don't think I have ever seen any photos of the Dover Plains turntable or wye.
