What I ask here directly, even with it being alluded to before, is this: With turnaround provision remaining in only a few places in the LIRR track network, would it be worthwhile for NYA to restore some of the eliminated wyes and/or turntables? Or are they flexible enough for change of direction in double ending some of their trains and running the engines around on others?
Since NY&A uses 2 units on their freight(topped and tailed in some cases),there's no need to use a wye,if a car needs to be faced a certain
way to be unloaded,that car will be turned at the wye at Pond if needed.
There are some Freight only runaround tracks scattered around the LIRR,where NY&A can run around their train if needed.
