Each time I've taken NJ Transit to Dover, which is at the end of the line, the train that arrives from NY immediately goes to the yard, and a new train comes from the yard, picks up passengers at Dover and heads to NY.
Why have trains at the end of the line head to the yard, with a new train starting in the yard and picking up passengers?
Wouldn't it be more efficient for trains that arrive at end stations such as Dover to just stop at the station and then go back to NY?
It only takes a few minutes for the train to head to the yard and a new train to start from the yard, go to the station and pick up passengers, but it still seems like a waste.
