Paul -- 

Traffic destined for CNJ points makes sense, of course, as would westbound 
traffic from the CNJ.

But  I'm suggesting that interchanging cars to the CNJ at either location --  
just to have the CNJ hand the freight back at Weehawken -- is typical of 
boneheaded railroading throw-cash-down-the-toilet railroading.

Cheers,
Jim
