New pedestal position-light signals have just replaced the old ones at the east end of Hicksville Station on the middle and south tracks. (Station tracks 2 & 3) They are box-shaped housings like some new ones in the Jamaica vicinity and identical to ones being used in Philadelphia on SEPTA.
They have silver-white LED's that are very visible even during the day. What's puzzling is that on the south track the new signal instead of being mounted on the same extended platform as the old, is mounted on a new structure that was built on to the viaduct maybe 20 feet west of the old one. Don't know why they needed to move that signal further back and it must have been expensive to build that additional structure.
