Just wondering if anyone knows what track the NJT tracks come off of for Kearny Jct. Also are there any crossovers here to access it from both tracks? Thanks

Swift is a complete interlocking, not a control point (CP), meaning trains can switch from one track to another in both directions.Right answer wrong explanation. Amtrak did not follow Conrail into the whole "prefixing everything that is not a tower with a CP" mentality. A comtrol point is a point, it has no length. An interlocking has length. An interlocking does not necessarily have to have interlocking appliances (example MARK on SEPTA or VALLEY on 2 track on the Harrisburg Line). You cannot reverse direction w/o permission in an interlocking. You can reverse if you train is straddling a CP.

A trian cannot get from the furthest track to the other furthest track, and be able to in both directions.The crossovers between 2 and 3 were finally removed? Haven't been down there in a while, obviously. They used to be 15mph switches, too. Pretty useless.
