Conrail commuter tickets-ex CNJ         
A pair of round trip tickets issued at Newark. All CNJ Bay Head and Main Line trains, now operated by Conrail, ran out of Newark Penn Station since their Jersey City terminal closed in 1967, and the trains were moved to Newark. The Bay Head trains used the ex PRR to Rahway, where they took the line to South Amboy, now on a Pennsy routing, though the trains had CNJ numbers in the 5300 series, vs the PRR 3300 series numbers. The Main Line trains took the connection at Hunter Tower, just outside the Penn Station train shed, to a connection with the ex Lehigh Valley at NK Tower, using the LV to Aldene, where they went down a ramp to the CNJ constructed for the purpose. They stopped at Roselle Park on the LV, then Cranford once on the CNJ, and on to Raritan for most trains, with a couple going on to Phillipsburg.
