Don't know of any unit trains per se, but GG1s definitely hauled Pennsy's crack "Trailer Trains" and also long strings of automobile racks.
The intermodal terminal was at Kearney. It is east of Newark station but those trains used the freight cutoff. It left the main line at Waverly, went along the north side of Oak Island and was next to the Pulaski Skyway for a short distance before it crossed the Passaic River on a drawbridge.
I traveled that part of the Skyway west many times when Dad was driving to somewhere west and that was the main express highway west from the Holland tunnel -late 40's, early 50's, I never had the good luck to see a train on that track.
