With cast iron PRR type "pedestal" position light signals from US&S long out of production, SEPTA appeared to be the first to purchase ersatz pedestal signals from independent signal manufacturer L&W back in 2019. These boxy LED equipped replacements have subsequently appeared on Amtrak around Philadelphia's PENN interlocking. Well it seems that despite their move towards reduced aspect signaling, the LIRR has purchased some as well with a prominent example now at DIVIDE interlocking.
While not completely unexpected the LIRR is known to have a sizable stock of pedestal signals that it uses during re-signaling projects to take the place of gantry-mounted PLs until the cutover process. However the number of concurrent signal projects may have exhausted the supply necessitating the purchase of new L&W stock.
