Old LIRR valuation map ID the signal?

Wading River Extension 1919 LIRR valuation map zoom

Please ID the use of the F indication?

It was a "flanger sign". They indicated when plows (flangers) should be lifted because a crossing had low clearance between the rails.

Here's what it looked like:

Since there were no signal circuits on the branch, the choices are pretty limited. The plate shows the roadway over the crossing filled, with timbers perhaps. That would require such a signal if its clearance was high.

By the way, the cast iron signs weighed 15-1/2 pounds each and were mounted on a 1-1/2" diameter iron pipe.

Patchogue-Mount Saini Rd is just east of Port Jefferson. Today the road ends south of the old ROW, I guess back then it continued past the tracks.
