Great job, guys. Looks like this project still has a very long way to go before it nears completion.

The 123/0 marker would be the chainage starting at SBC - NMGA - SBGA ? Does this continue till HAS, where it should be approx 164/x or 166/x, ex-SBC ?

The FOB is an indication that the OHE catenary will be coming up soon on this section. For operational convenience, of course.

With tongue in cheek - can I say that this looks more like a tombstone for this line ?? Will I ever be able to travel in a train on this line ??

Yes,these are point sleepers.Each point and crossing needs a set of sleepers of different dimensions.They have the rail fastenings embedded into them as required by the prefabricated point and crossing assembly.Note that these sleepers do not have rail cant tables.Rails on points and crossings are laid flat.

This is not a track-circuit box but a stripped point machine,of which the motor and some other components are missing-probably stolen or removed by staff.
Of the five rods,the leftmost is the locking rod,the middle two are operating rods and the rightmost two rods are the detection blades for detecting the correct position of the point.

This is a plunger lock,used for interlocking and securing the points in the correct position.While this is a single-plunger type lock,there are also double-plunger types which can be required for more complex interlocking functions.The key which is removed from this type of lock is then reinserted in another point or a lever to operate another function or to take-off a signal.
