The old track in between Ronkonkoma and Central Islip has been fully surfaced with ballast, which needs to be evened out since you can't see the ties. Afterwards they will add the third rail because the white supports that will hold up the third rail are there. A manual switch has been added to DK with the new track straightened out, and it is in the same condition as the replacement track in between KO and CI.
Railing has been added to the side of both platforms at Wyandanch, with the platform heating elements waiting to be connected to the loop. Curbs are being poured to the South of the ROW and there is a lack of fencing at the East end of the new platform. The Southern track at Central Islip has been replaced, and once that is completed, most likely they will replace the Northern track from CI Interlocking to where the new second track was connected, and possibly all the way through Deer Park.
Pinelawn is seeing a turnout/parking lot outline and curbing being laid along with railing on the ramps and new staircases to both platforms. A new Solari sign is already erected on the new platform. Hopefully the fence will follow, and in addition to the pedestal signal on the pole, a bagged pedestal signal was installed just West of Wellwood Avenue for the freight switch.
