I saw a switch in between Carll's Path and Commack Road, was that already there, or is it part of an extension of JS Interlocking?
I came back from mta.info and you are correct the weekend of October 28-29 is a Ronkonkoma Branch work outage. No NTC machine, this is solely for switch installation work. My guess is completing the new interlocking West of the Peter's Boulevard crossing, and I'm not sure if they finished the crossover switch in between Pond Road and Ocean Avenue in Ronkonkoma. Then again, they didn't get the full insight, so I'm sure they will be doing work that won't have an effect on service during weekdays like what they are doing in Wyandanch, at the old Deer Park Station, Pinelawn, the second track where it goes through Connetquot State Park, and in between Central Islip and Brentwood with grading and ballast dumping.
By the way, I enjoyed my 27th birthday yesterday and I'm proud to be the youth and enthusiasm in the forum keeping up to tabs on history, and upcoming projects that have made me see unbelievable transitions and changes to the railroad I grew up with as a child, being a symbol of my childhood, and finding out that my visions actually existed before my time! To think I was only 7 and in an arm cast recovering from a broken arm caused by falling off a table when Herrick's Road was eliminated, and finishing up my senior year of high school when Roslyn Road was eliminated when I was 16-17. Solari signs, rehabilitated stations, the retirement of the M1, the birth of the M7 and soon M9, and everything since 1990 to now.
