The super schedule graph that took me all summer to make! Its easier to read in excel, since I can mouse over the "trains" to see what they are.
The Bottom of the graph is 12 AM, the top of the graph is 11:59 PM. the horizontal white lines mark approximately 1 hour
The stops (represented by points on the scatter plot) from left to right are:
Philadelphia, Trenton, Princeton Junction, Jersey Avenue, New Brunswick, Edison, Metuchen, Metropark, Rahway, North Rahway, Linden, Elizabeth, North Elizabeth, Lane Tower (freight only), Newark Penn Station, New York Penn Station.
The basic color code is-
Light Blue- NJ DOT trains between Trenton, or Jersey Avenue (Arrow MU)
Orange- NJ DOT trains to South Amboy (Arrow MU)
Purple- NJ DOT Trains to Bay Head (GG1-exchanges with E8)
Red- NJ DOT Trains to Bay Head (GP40P Express trains)[note, the 5300 series trains did not got to NYC. However, the corresponding train the red line touches in New York is the connecting train one would have to take to reach NYC]
Green- Amtrak Long Distance trains (such as the broadway limited, Silver Meteor, etc)
Lime Green- Amtrak Clocker Trains
Yellow/Gold- Metroliner service (Metroliner MU)
Blue- Conrail Freight trains
