When was the eastbound wye to High Bridge yard torn out? Was it after the '72 retrenchment from Pa or by Conrail ? The westbound wye was used by the CNJ/EL pool jobs and the LJ local. I don't believe they had anything coming in from the west heading up the HB branch after March '72 did they? Did the local to P'burg do any work at High Bridge up to C-day?
