Now that there is no more manual block on the Montauk Branch east of Speonk, does the cannonball equipment ( LIRR train 5783) still meet train 8700 on Saturday morning at Mastic Shirley? If not where does the cannonball meet LIRR train 8700?

Cannonball returns as 5785. It leaves Montauk 1:26am and is scheduled to meet 8700 at JJD (siding east of Mastic-Shirley) at 2:42am.
