Hi, Does anyone know if the LIRR still has some manned towers? If they do, can anyone give a list of them? Thank you for any information anyone can give me.
Now I don't know if this means manned towers, but according to my latest action-packed edition of "Railpace" the LIRR still has manual block control on it's east end, out Montauk way.
They are, and identified by their telegraph codes:
Westhampton WH
Hampton Bays ND, to become an automatic interlocking
Southhampton SN, to become an automatic interlocking
Bridgehampton BH
Amagansett AG
Montauk MY (Yard Limit, westbound only.)
The block limits not due to be automated are slated to be eliminated.
Hope this answers the question.
Forgot === where is Harold controlled from ? If remote does it have the abiity to be controlled locally from bungalow if remote is lost ? Know Amtrak NEC had at one time some locations with that ability .
