Anyone know what the new track configuration will be at "F" interlocking? The Line 2 Connection was all torn out yesterday and a large track gang had switch panels ready to be dropped along the Long Island City Westward track.

The installation of third rail proceeded Thursday along the North Runner and "Q" in Sunnyside yard as well. I guess this willl be for the new LIRR facilities?

This is to provide access to Arch Street.

The facing point westward switch to the Line 2 Connection will be moved west about 150 feet. A new westward facing point crossover from Sub 1 to the LIC Westward Psgr will be added, and F interlocking extended west to include this new crossover. Moves to/from Arch St will go to Hunterspoint Ave, reverse via the new crossover for Sub 1, down Sub 1 to the North Runner at Q and then west to Arch St.
