At Nassau Tower where the Oyster Bay branch cuts off there are two turnouts and a crossing. This image is part of a blueprint. Is it correct to assume that the two turnouts are #10 turnouts, and the crossing is a #6?

Turnouts #10. Looks like the crossing frogs are #8 for the inside and #6 for the outside. Curved crossing would change the angle that much in that distance. In this case 2 deg 22' 28".
