I had a chance to pass by, and nothing much seems to have changed from the pictures posted above (probably because of Memorial Day weekend). I must admit that I too am puzzled as to the intended usage of this new double track - is it possible they will pave it over and make it a micro-transfer yard? I did notice the plant on Girabaldi to the east of the tracks (former chemical plant maybe - I forgot the name) is 'Available' (<rant on>as is seemingly every single industrial, commerical, and back-office building in the NY Tri-State Area - 'AVAILABLE!' 'CBRE!' 'FOR SALE! Zone Commerical!' '50,000sf Sublets!' 'Immediate Occupancy' and so on freaking everywhere - heh, when I was a kid growing up in the Northeast, I thought every parcel of agricultural land was for sale and I was stunned when I saw actual agricultural land WITHOUT a 'Prime Real Estate - Will Divide' sign on it. Of course, that was simply prophetic, as all agricultural land in the Northeast WAS indeed for sale, has indeed been sold, and then over the past 3 decades has been covered by rows of townhouses and gated communities... And now I am stunned to see any agricultural land, with or without a 'Prime Real Estate' sign</rant off>).
Once you get to the pre-existing switch to the plastics place, looks like no work has been done on the track (except to dump a few piles of ballast here and there, maybe with an eye to eventually tamping it in the foreseeable future).
