I know the radius of the loops is too tight for the MLVs and I can't remember why there is/was a restriction past Elberon.As I understand, the only reason behind the restriction is the loop. If they were allowed down to Bay Head, but restricted around the loop, odds are someone would goof and send them around the loop. Not allowing them beyond Elberon period makes everything simpler operationally.
The reason for the restriction west of Elberon, as opposed to west of Long Branch is so that they could enter and exit the yard the "back way" at BATH.
