Jim,

None of the consists from 1975-76 show any cars routed EL-CNJ-EL, and 
frankly, I'm dubious that this ever happened unless it was perhaps a 
stop-off car. Do you happen to know of any examples?

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
