Him, perhaps I should take a crack at this...
The North Runner, which is a yard track in the MMC, connects to the Morristown Line (M&E) at Sanfords. At Meadows, which is just west of Sanfords, the Morristown Line Single Track (aka the Waterfront Connection) diverges from the south side of track 2 and runs up a hill along the western end of the MMC. There is a hand operated switch on the Single Track to the North Runner. The Single Track runs west to Cape interlocking. At Cape, the M&E Single Track connects to the Hudson Line. West of Cape, the Hudson Line continues to Hudson on Amtrak. At Cape a single track diverges to the south. There is a power switch in that single track farther to the east and two tracks enter the MMC. To the north is the Coach Lead, and to the south is the S&I Lead. Running along side the S&I lead is the Conrail Center Street Industrial (aka Center Street Branch or Center Street Running Track). There is a crossover from the Center St Branch to the S&I Lead for eastward moves within the interlocking at Cape. East of Cape, the Center Street Branch runs up to a connection to Conrail east of their CP-Karny. West of Cape, the Center Street Branch drops down a hill and passes under Amtrak, alongside the westward PATH track. Just under the Amtrak bridge is a westward crossover from the Center St Branch to the Morristown Line at Kearny Jct that is part of Kearny Jct interlocking. West of Kearny Jct, the Center St Branch continues into Harrison where Conrail has, I believe, one customer. CSX, via Conrail, also interchanges with the M&E Railway west of Kearny Jct on the Center St Branch.

Proven Theory #2 - If you don't work for the railroad, you don't know more than the people who do, no matter how many years you've hung around the tracks, or how well you think you understand railroading.
