The Toys For Tots train program has been a success since 2009. It has been a partnership between sponsor railroads and local communities and nonprofits. Most recently it has been expanded to the M&NJ in Orange County, after starting on the NYSW and M&E. Given the success and support, and looking at the NJ DOT rail route map, I thought of possible lines that could hosts Tots For Tots in the future:
Boonton Line: NS H-02 route, Dover to Montclair, with stops at Boonton, Lincoln Park, Wayne-Route 23, Little Falls, Upper Montclair and Bay Street (no NJT service west of Bay Street weekends)
Northern Branch (CSX): Palisades Park, Englewood, Tenafly, Cresskill
Washington Secondary (H-02): Dover west to Mt. Arlington, Netcong, Hackettstown, Washington, Phillipsburg
CSAO already operates a Browns Yard Santa Train, so could Conrail run a "South Jersey Toys For Tots". Possible route via Vineland Secondary: Pavonia to Gloucester City, Woodbury, Pitman, Glassboro, Clayton, Vineland.
These seem interesting ideas for future years.

Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.
