I think it's out of service now, since all trains running out of the former PRR South Kearny yard now traverse the "new Conrail connection" highlighted in Jim's map, traverse the Northern, and re-enter the NYC trackage at North Bergen. I don't think there are any moves from South Kearny that go to Croxton anymore, are there? The only part of Nave that's still operable is going from Croxton through the Erie Tunnel, onto the National Docks, to Oak Island. Only H84 has to battle its way from Croxton to the Central Avenue Br through S Kearny, a few times a week, but that's a long story.
