Yes, Sunday March 2nd is a good date. The signals suspension should being around 0800 hours with bridge removal probably beginning immediately.

I believe the signal bridges that are going down on the east side of Rochester are the MP351, MP354, CP359, MP360, MP362 and MP365. MP356 has no signal bridges since the days of, I believe, PC or early days in CR era. The signals that are there now are to believe to be from Conrail days, maybe in the 80's?? With that in mind, the new ones are going to be (and correct me if I am wrong) MP351 or 2, MP355, MP356, CP359, MP362, MP365. Now when the signals on west side of Rochester will be going down?

We will be cutting over up to and including CP 362 starting Sunday March 2.

Some video screenshots from the auto 354 in Macedon, NY at Quaker Road crossing, taken on Monday, Feb 24... First is K408 with SOO 6024, BNSF 5069, and BNSF 9075, while the second shot is a caboose trailing a dimensional load on Q640... Uncommon things under a structure with not a lot of time left...
These are screen grabs from video files; the actual video should be on my Youtube channel in a week or two...

Correct. INT 365 will be retained as is until the next go around.

Thanks for giving me answers that I was asking. Hmm. I haven't seen new signals that will replace 360?? where is 360's replacement signals?

Scottychaos... I know that all of them are going to be taken down. I was asking which signal bridges will be taken down on or around march 2nd... That was my question refer to Nick's comment of March 2nd...

I believe that's been covered before...360 will be removed with no replacement. 359 will be the wb approach for 362 and vice versa.

UGH!!! not a good sign for me...

losing the signals at 360 is definitely the end of an era.

It's going to be truly different without having signals in Fairport New York or at Quaker Road in Macedon New York. Are the new signals going to be online on the same day (Sorry if I didn't know or ask this again)??

Cranes for removal of the old bridges are in place at least at 362 and 352 last I saw. The signal suspension lasts from Sunday until Monday, I assume to work out any glitches that may occur, but if it goes like the 335 to 349 cutover the new signals should all be activated on Sunday

Okay thanks for the information!!!
