Could not tell at 50mph, but 3 trucks and 5 guys, one was up on the signal cantilever. That was about 3:45pm. If you saw them at 10:30, must be some major work on those. Also the signal hut door was open.

Went for a closer look. Replaced all of the lower light heads on both South Airport Road crossings with LED light heads. The light heads on the cantilevers have not been replaced (though those will require a boom truck).

The contractor (CDL Electric) also did work on the Garfield Avenue crossing signals in TC (on the Williamsburg branch) today. Also, they painted the parts that should be black back to black (many parts were faded to silver). Same with the South Airport Road crossings (both).
