My understanding is that the new signal bridges in the area will be up in the next month or so, but the signals will not be cut in until next spring. A possible exception is the bridge at Westmont where they are waiting on a new bridge section to replace the one they dropped, it may take a while to get the new section.

Thanks for posting the photos of the new Belmont station and overpass. Having grown up in DG, I was certainly familiar with the old grade level Belmont station and crossing. While I will miss the old arrangement, the new installation is surely a vast improvement for the automobile drivers in the area and probably the RR too.
By the way, does anyone know when the old signal bridges between Belmont Road and and Forest Avenue are scheduled for replacement? Those I will really miss. They are in the background of many of my old photos.
