The Ronkonkoma Branch that I knew as a child has been transformed into anew with the one from my younger days being cast as yesteryear.
Project update after the July 14th-15th outage according to Edward Hand's photos:
1.) KO Interlocking gantry has been razed.
2.) The second track connection has been connected to what looks like the already existing second track East of Pond Road (both tracks had the BARRICADE octagons placed).
3.) Track work was done at CI
4.) Brentwood was not connected, but patchwork was being done to the platforms.
5.) Platform slabs were installed for new ramps at Deer Park.
6.) Wyandanch now has both the existing platform and new second platform at 12-car lengths. Wouldn't be surprised if the Western half of the current platform is put into service tomorrow since they are already installing the yellow line rumble stripe.
7.) Canopies installed on both sides, elevator shafts surrounded by bricks.
8.) DANCH Interlocking has its' new signals covered, and third rail installed around it.
9.) Nothing done at Pinelawn as far as I'm concerned.'
10.) Track work with a ballast car near FARM.
