Looks like a drive in theater nearby. Love the telephone box and wooden platfoem creature comfort for it.

That newly installed switch would be for the Pickering station

The original two head low (dwarf) signal governing westward movement on the York Sub. can be seen to the left on the Engineman’s side of the CN 603. This low signal was later replaced with a three head signal mounted on the bridge structure and identified as Signal 013.
