Tom Beckett General The lead coach was a subscription car that ran on an inbound PRR train in the morning, outbound in the afternoon, spending the day at Sunnyside Yard. It had a name, which I can't recall at the moment-Commuter Club, or something like that. There was also a car that ran on the CNJ trains-it was a blue ex CNJ coach-to Newark in the morning, to Bay Head in the afternoon. It was the Monmouth Club. Prior to the CR merger, the Bay Head line was jointly operated from South Amboy to Bay Head by PRR and CNJ as the NY & Long Branch. PRR trains went to NY Penn, CNJ trains went initially to Jersey City, then to Newark Penn after the Aldene Plan was implemented in 1967. Those patterns remained in place at the time of this photo, and may still-I have not been back in many years. 12/10/2018 5:53:09 AM
