I was actually wondering about that actually...
Until 2001 or so NJT's tickets worked differently. You got a separate ticket for each leg of the journey. If you did it from a TVM they would even be attached and perforated so you could separate them as needed. So, if you bought a one way from NYP to Westfield, you would get one that said:
NYP NYP
*** NWK ***
----------------
*** NWK ***
Westfield

You could detach them at the perforations and use either section whenever you wanted. Because of this, I *always* bought tickets with the origin code of Hoboken whenever I was doing anything from Newark. It cost exactly the same and I got a neat collection of free Hoboken-Newark tickets I would use whenever the opportunity presented itself.
