This was a test train run by AMtrak to evaluate possible service from
Hoboken.  F40, one coach, one cab car.  Train wyed at Denville and
ran cab car first to Port Morris.  There, it used the west leg of the
wye which was put back in just for the occasion; the east leg would
have required more work.  Conrail probably would have continued to
own the track.
