If you're running piggyback service (think EL!), the catenary's not an issue. And there is NO WAY that NJT is going to raise catenary height for double-stacks...

Best bet is a piggyback or construction waste transfer facility (or for that matter, bulk unloading - covered hoppers or corn syrup tankers - I'm surprised NS hasn't jumped on that business, the NYS&W seems to be doing a pretty good job with all of these commodities today)
