Let me get this right, he's connecting a signal to a switch that goes nowhere?

I believe that is a switch point derail.

Thanks for the kind words, Doug. And yes, that's a derail. The spur it's on ties right into the Eastbound main, and is used for storage for cars to be picked up here by a manifest daily, Q316. When they redid the interlocking, they put this derail in new, and put all new switches, with of course electric/manual machines, replacing all the old ones.
