Pablo M 201 Posted June 20, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 20, 2007 I ride PATH almost 100 percent of the time I go to NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted June 20, 2007 I used to ride the PATH to Newark to go shopping with an old buddy of mine way back in the day. It was a nice ride for me he wasn't really a rail fan so he just wanted to shop. I wanted to do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATCOman Posted June 22, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 22, 2007 I usually ride PATH to Newark if I am going to Philly and want to save money. I like those wyes in Jersey City and that stretch from Journal Square to Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted June 22, 2007 Share #6 Posted June 22, 2007 Actually, once you cross that one bridge after Journal Square and over the Hackensac River, your in the industrial part of Kearny now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJerseyT Posted June 24, 2007 Share #7 Posted June 24, 2007 My dad said when he used to take the path from journal square, when he was about 19 or so and traveled between NJ and NY, and he said that the path train looked about 200% better than it does today,and he says the the trains look similar to the ones he used to ride on is this possible/true.

Pablo M 201 Posted June 24, 2007 Share #8 Posted June 24, 2007 Your father is very right. PA 1, 2, and 3 are still running to this day, along with the cars that came in the late 80s, the PA-4s. The PA-5s are expecting to replace the entire current fleet, when cars start arriving in a few years. Tehre should be a demo test train coming soon, since the manufactuor is Kawasaki, so might have to wait til Kawasaki gets the MTA NYCT Subway R160 order done.

Eastman346 Posted July 8, 2007 Share #9 Posted July 8, 2007 I like the path but the last time I rode it I smelled sewage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted July 8, 2007 I like the path but the last time I rode it I smelled sewage. You're right. The last time I used to PATH to Newark Penn to grab a Raritan NJT and I also smelled sewage. It wasn't that bad but I did smell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted July 8, 2007 Share #11 Posted July 8, 2007 Yeah, PATH always had a little sewage problems, especially in the NY PATH stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted October 17, 2009 Share #15 Posted October 17, 2009 Well seeing that PATH is the busiest transit system per line track mile in the country and 3rd in the world, i'd say no thread about it is ever going to really be dead unless it's a specific question answered and case closed. I am really looking forward to 10 car operation on the red line. Problem is, Grove st is only 8 cars long. Perhaps run an express that passes gst and harrison? - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted October 19, 2009 Share #20 Posted October 19, 2009 Oh yeah, I forgot too add few things: Hoboken (the town itself) as well as Newport Shopping Mall (by SIMON Malls) is two very different destinations. Hobokon has the feeling of a good old American small town while right next door is a sophiticated modern American city. Yea, it has huge amounts of contrast all along the system, i mean christopher street has sex shops and little old brownstones and cafes & 33rd st is right near penn station, cosmopolitan area of manhattan. The PATH system effectively stitches the 2 sides of the river together, and with HBLR, and the (NYCT) it allows tight integration of the NYC/JC/NWK/HOB area. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted October 20, 2009 Share #21 Posted October 20, 2009 I'm also a Hudson & Manhattan fan. Hudson Terminal, the Black Cars, the West Side Avenue grade crossing, 19th Street. H & M/PATH fans owe a thank you to Mr. McAdoo for his vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
