Tom Beckett General Rutherford NJ, or Rutherford PA?? There is no yard at the Jersey location, though the former EL runs through it; it's close to the former EL Croxton Yard, which is still in service for NS. Rutherford PA, a former Reading yard just north and east of Harrisburg, was Reading's Harriaburg area terminal, and was part of an "alphabet route" that included the B&O, whose power would have been common there. That yard is now an intermodal facility for NS. 1/9/2025 4:58:08 AM
