@GSC Makes sense that the switch would need to be left a certain way as trains still went south of Downtown Toms River to Lacey (and maybe beyond) back in those days.
I can’t say exactly how often they worked the place but I do know that Ciba Geicy wanted to completely rebuild the plant when they took over from Toms River Chemical and part of that meant a major rebuild of the entire TRIT so it could accommodate the trains they would want. (They were pushing for 50 tank cars a day) NJT very quickly shot that down as they weren’t gonna let trains like that on the Coast Line. The plan fell through afterwards.
I do believe that some of the work for the rebuild was done around 92-94 ish. Most of it seems to have been tampering and roadbed work going off of the very little pictures there are of trains on that line, and the current condition of it.
