This is the newer,
relocated “K” block limit signal which has been moved further east of
the original location as indicated in the older photos above. It remains
on the south side of the tracks. This view is looking east. Dave

 Mattituck Station and “K” semaphore block signal and block limit signal |
1958 photo: This is
the same Mattituck depot building as shown in the early view above and
reflects the severe remodeling of 1944 to which several eastern LI depots
were subjected. “K” block signal with semaphore arms appears out
front of the structure with the block limit signal affixed lower down on
the signal mast. This view is looking southwest and shows the
express house at the far right and the large, old school building in the
background behind the depot area. Photo by LIRR trainman Irving

 Mattituck Station and ‘K’ Block Limit Signal 1966 |
1966 photo: This view almost duplicates the above shot, only closer. By the time this photo was taken, the signal mast had been severely truncated and only the “K” block limit signal remains. The large, old school building is gone and at the far right can be seen the depot’s replacement metal shelter shed which became an ubiquitous sight for many years. A year later, the old wooden structure was razed. Dave Keller photo and archive |
