The P&H line was the PRR freight connection from the PRR, now Amtrak corridor main to Kearny and on into South Kearny and ultimately Harsimus Cove. There is also a connecting track to the P&H from the former LV main This comes off the north side of the west end of OI yard to the P&H. A 20'2" high DS train that needed to get to Erail would come down this way from the former NYC via the Northern and Marion Jct. The connection to the Chemical Coast (the CC is the former CNJ main, which parallels the NJTP, and where CNJ trains going to the NYLB would operate) comes off the south side of OakIsland yard. Since Erail is now NS and their traffic comes via the Lehigh line, this is pretty much a non issue-unless it was necessary to operate via the Southern Tier.
