Re: Porter
There was talk of CSX putting in crossovers and or a diamond, so they could connect the GR sub to the Porter branch thus avoiding NS tracks.

Re: Porter
hmm, i just dont see that happening, but who knows
Re: Porter
NS has been replacing switches all along the Chicago line. I suspect that's what your seeing is just normal replacements.

I know this is an old post, but I didn't see it before 
Anyway, NS also resignalled the junction. New cantilevers on the mainline and Porter Branch (the latter of which replaced a classic NYC era bracket mast), and new signals on the Amtrak line (looked to be a slow speed signal with 3 heads) and CSX (medium speed, with only 2 heads)
