CONRAIL/NJ DOT End Bayonne Shuttle (1199 words)
In addition, a connecting track had to be built at Aldene, connecting the CNJ with the L.V., and since the volume of trains was too large for the two-track Lehigh Valley, signaling improvements were made so trains could run either way on both tracks (rule 261-TCS).
Since the CNJ/LV connection at Aldene was only a single track, it often became a bottleneck at rush hour, with east bounds sometimes waiting for westbounds before they could "go up the Hill." Two tracks were planned, but never installed, contributing to headaches for the operators at "EXCEE" and "NK" towers.
The Aldene plan gave birth to this Cranford-Bayonne shuttle, which came to be known as "the Scoot." During the 11 years it existed, all types of equipment CNJ had were used, including RDC's leased from the P.R.S.L., push-pull GP-7's, RS-3's, GP40P's and even the 2400 series FM Trainmasters.
