First and foremost..... there is the phase gap and 2 grade crossings immediately west of the station (one of which being Route 35.....lesser of two evils i'd rather block the roads in town than 35).....where are you going to stop? White Road? Then hope you can make a run for it to get across the phase gap while running on an approach (remember there is an automatic on the curve east of the 35 crossing)?For what it's worth, today, 9-29-14, I heard two different dispatchers tell eastbound electric trains not to block the crossings in Red Bank because they were going to wait for westbounds.
