The single track project between Waverly and Johnson (Binghamton) has had an emergency stop order to halt the project...in favor of a double track expansion project. Possibly double track re-installed all points West of the Route 400 highway overpass. 261 signals Waverly to Johnson. Currently there are 251 signals (in one direction).
I'd suspect this to not be true anymore. Bi-diectional signals are set up, tested, and aimed along track 1 between Owego and Binghamton, and existing signals on both tracks are marked for removal. Furthermore, according the the newspaper, crossing work is lated for the end of September for the crossings that are in the sections that are going to be single tracked, but not those where there'll be sidings.
