And besides NJT restrictions there is the Tinton Avenue bridge in Eatontown clearance issue.If you are thinking about the former Ciba facility for aa transload site I suggest you due a recent sattelite view. Most of thhe open space there is now a huge solar farm. Something like 117 acres of panels.If there was ever a larger transloading operation on the Southern/FIT than the once-a-week tank at this moment, a transloading customer might desire a TOFC or containers to be shipped to their premises or a transloading site.
In addition to that, in some of the NJTPA reports I've come across, there is a desire to have intermodal facilities in southern and central NJ. The FIT and Southern run through huge swaths of both and could be near any potential sites if they ever materialize. They also discussed giving Fort Dix rail connection again. I'd imagine Fort Dix, if they received anything, would be containers or TOFC, as well as vehicles on flat cars.
