Well guess what??......

At this location used to be the Valley Cottage train station (NYC), and some of the canopy supports are still visible in the ground just out of view to the right when looking to the north towards the crossing. Now, a mini-mall parking lot occupies the space where I was (out of view behind my position), and this spot is actually a very poplar railfan spot in the area here. And CP 26 gives good heads up of southbound action with the north-facing (southward) signal well visible, and you can hear northbounds calling their signals down at CP 22.

Also......

In NJ, between CP 7 and CP 10, the line has been restored to 3 tracks, with 2 tracks already in place plus a third as a controlled siding. Not unusual to see two trains holding between CP 7 and CP 10, three mile long stretches, in Bogota, Teaneck and Bergenfield, when northward the 3-track slims to 1 track at CP 10, and a full single track only between CP 10 and CP 22.
