I agree with CNJ4101.
As a kid in the early 60s, I remember seeing an occasional PRR freight (I lived in Spring Lake Heights, Neptune City, and Belmar during that time, within a block of the NY&LB at each house). They were rare, but they did come by sometimes. According to my Dad, PRR interchanged freight cars at Sea Girt, Bradley Beach, Long Branch, and Red Bank, and like mentioned in the post above, PRR couldn't service online customers. I remember the PRR unit trains of jetty rocks coming to Lewis Lumber Co's old lumber yard in Spring Lake.
Eventually, PRR freight trains stopped running the NY&LB and just brought cars to Sea Girt and Farmingdale. Pretty soon, even that dried up. The connection at Sea Girt was gone in 1964. Anything from that time on was delivered the CNJ at F'dale.
