What is the new plan to increase the number of trains leaving after the race? Are they going to use the east leg of the wye?

On the special timetable for the O.A.R. concert it's mentioned that the station is accessible to mobility impaired customers. Where are the new ramps located?

Sorry, I'm sure this question has already been answered, but does the train layover between runs or deadhead back to Boston?

Was anyone at the Preakness simulcast at Belmont? Maybe some photo updates on the construction?

There is a Twitter pic from the NYRA with a M7 at the new high level platform. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CE6stkgUMAEkWtz.jpg:large" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Mainline- I think you posted a pic of that years ago didn't you?

From the Newsday pic, it looks like the platforms are connected by a walkway towards the rear. Perhaps this means they are ADA accessible.

CBS news had a short segment about the upgrades including some great shots of the extended high level platforms.

I think the original platforms were all low level platforms without the high spotting staircases. The MP-54 and MP72/75 had traps that allowed passengers to use the staircase in the vestibule. I don't believe there were ever high platforms at Belmont.

Look at Google Maps. It looks like they have made progress extending the south platform.

Looking at Google Maps, it looks like they are clearing the area adjacent to the end of the Garden City Secondary. Any particular reason?

Will that be the end of freight on the PJ branch? No more customers since Nassau Suffolk disappeared as well as Gallo in Syosset.

I saw on Google maps that the new switch only allows access to the westbound main. Originally there was also a crossover from the eastbound main to the Pilgrim DEF. How will eastbound trains access the Pilgrim DEF?

Since restoring the weekend service, how popular has it been?

I just have been more specific. I was referring only to the Cannonball with the red stripe cars. Btw- did the Cannonball ever run with 2 MP-15s and an Alco or EMD cab?
