How did this N-Judah get so far astray? (Also, we'd be remiss not to mention that the second train was out-of-order, so the front one was jam-packed. Naturally.)

The N "sleeps" in Balboa Park. It's got to get to the Outer Sunset somehow so it runs partly along the J line.
it ain't right!
N goes to La Playa and Judah, not Balboa Park to sleep.
Uh? How do you think the N gets from the Geneva yard to the Sunset? It's the same reason you see F cars on that same stretch of track.
I believe that some of the stops along that stretch of track are only long enough for one car to board passengers thus only the first car is in service.
'Course as of the last contract it was technically against the work rules to have only one operator for a two car train on the street (except for explicit exemptions for the stretches where they do run two car trains). Is your head spinning yet?
When an N gets to Ocean Beach and is then going to go back to the yard, the front car becomes a J and the second car goes out of service. It then runs down the N track (as a J) all the way back to Church where instead of going into the tunnel it turns to run down the J track to the yard.
It's not an N if it's not uncomfortably crowded.
OMG! An actual sighting of the elusive N-Judah. How many a blustery day have I spent peering down the track searching for the squinty headlights of transport nirvana, only to end up hailing a cab.
This is more significant than locating the Loch Ness Monster.
Yeah, the trains sleep/get maintained/whatever at Balboa Park. When an N is ready to go out for the day it goes down the J line, and runs as a J (usually with the back car out of service) until it gets to Duboce, at which point it runs on the N line like normal. Sam thing goes for the N when it goes back to Balboa Park, as well as the F.
ohh no wonder i once saw the J running by duboce park. that was very confusing for me.
So that is where my N has been every morning!
I feel like a cuckolded husband looking at my N out there; don't those Mission/Castro people get enough Muni action?!? We out in The Sunset provide a stable if occassionally boring familiarity...why must she stray?
N Judahs don't sleep at La Playa, they just block traffic and cause accidents.
hudu: if you want to see "uncomfortably crowded", try riding the L.
The L is a joke compared to the N, and both are luxurious comfort compared to the 28 or 10
