These range from coal and ores to anything packed in boxes or crates to steel coils and concrete. These are locally transported and will frequent the Elizabeth Port Yard and other holding facilities because they must be off the mains for the through, priority 1 and 2 trains. Maintenence of Way service is the lowest of all priority freights except when it is an emergency. Such emergencies are main line maintenence problems or derailments. Otherwise they must yield to all other consists and have speed restrictions to the absolute slowest travelable speed to avoid any major catastrophies.
Passenger services are even simpler than freight runs.
There are two major stations located within the borders of the town of Elizabeth. Elizabeth Port Station is the largest station with a 160' main platform and a 90' island platform. The other is Bayway Station which is a simpler station with two 40' platforms and a small shed and main building accessible from the return loop and the Elizabeth Spur. Two and three car consists are the most common on the line and have priority 1 status which is equal to intermodal consists. However if an intermodal and New Jersey Transit consist may conflict, New Jersey Transit gets the right of way because of trackage rights.
