The P'burger was cut back to Port Morris in the late 1960s, then was
eventually abolished in favor of a Phillipsburg Turn that came out of
P'burg and swapped cars at Port Morris before returning.

As for the "Hayshaker", this was discussed many years ago here on this
list. That name dates back to the early 1900s, but the reason why is
lost to time. I would assume it probably had something to do with the
fact that there were a lot of farms along the ROW...
