I asked this question on the list a while back, and it appears that towards the end of the EL (1975-1976) they ran sporadic "Port Morris Turns" out of Croxton to take care of dropping cars off at Port Morris, assumably for the P'burger. I have a few other photos of these turns (and they continued into early Conrail), but like I said, they weren't that common.

I'll have to go back and see if the other Port Morris turns ran on holidays and/or weekends.
