Long Island Rail Road, old-school style

The Long Island Rail Road is in the midst of a program to replace manual signal switches, like the one this man in the photo is operating. This photo was taken in the train tower on the east side of Jamaica Station. Railroad engineers must actually move the levers to switch a train onto a given track. The LIRR is replacing manual switches with computers.
