That type of signal pictured is standard at interlockings on Metro-north but not on LIRR. I think the previous poster's answers are correct. Maybe temporary signals. I don't really see a space limitation there.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the Long Island Rail Road Double Track has reached a major milestone and the final five miles of rail being laid this month. The project utilizes Design-Build construction and a specialized New Track Construction machine that lays rail more than 10 times faster than the MTA has ever done before, saving more than $7 million in construction costs and allowing for an expected project completion of August 2018 - 16 months ahead of schedule. Once complete, the Double Track, extending from Farmingdale to Ronkonkoma, will dramatically reduce delays on the LIRR and enable more off-peak service in both directions by adding nearly 13 miles of parallel track.2018 LIRR Project Completion List

"As tj48 stated above, the NTC is currently going down the hill from the Deer Park Avenue overpass towards Wyandanch. They still have to lay the second track through Wyandanch, through Pinelawn Cemetery (the station platform was torn down with the new one in service to the North), through New Highway, and all the way to FARM Interlocking's Eastern switch. The project will be finished ahead of time, but then they have to add the ballast, finish up the interlocking switches West of Wyandanch, finish the new interlocking West of Central Islip, modernize KO Interlocking, Wyandanch rising where the new station will have a handicap-accessible elevator like Mineola, etc.
