Paul/List:

Hmmmmm.  I'd have bet money it was PN-98,  I'll have to check what the
info I've got at home [at office now].

I'm sure there was always a long freight coming through North Newark
heading eastbound at 10pm+/- during weeknights.  Whereas, CS-9 generally
ran by Kearny / West Arlington's WR tower at 3pm+/- weekdays, just
before the RS3s and the commuters began the "rushhour" traffic. 

Further to your reply: Was there, perhaps, an extended period of
re-routes that would have run PN-98 down the Greenwood Lake?
