I am confused. When you say "Stop once past Croxton..." you don't mean they pulled all the way up to HX, do you? I always assumed that the trains cleared West Bergen Jct. (Erie Bergen Jct. on the map -- in CR and NJT it was always W. Bergen Jct.), backed down the High Line to the Arches, and then went up the Northern. Thanks. Dave West PS I always heard that the Swamp Switch was installed in the Northern, and was called the "Swamp Switch" because of the "moist" conditions encountered during installation.
