Adjustments at Selkirk (CP-SK)

 Although the CSX routes east of Selkirk Yard in Upstate New York appear to be holding on to their Conrail style signaling, the same might not be true for their Conrail era signals.  CP-SK, the major interlocking at the east end of Selkirk Yard, was re-signaled late in the Conrail era and largely survived various re-signaling schemes in its vicinity.  Some of the Conrail signals were replaced, however the majority remained intact.  A few weeks ago new Darth Vader masts appeared at the east and southern ends of the interlocking for reasons unknown.  However Conrail signals at the west end appear to be unaffected.

Before

After
Not sure what the ultimate plan is, but I might need to stop by again after I had already visited the plant in 2019, to tie up some loose ends.
