- In this video, I explain the entire PATH system and its long, winding history from the H&M Railroad to the PATH we know today. With 2 terminals in New Jersey and 2 terminals in Manhattan, the PATH is one of the easiest, quickest and cheapest ways to get from New Jersey to New York City, and is utilized by millions of commuters every year.

A few more facts: The Grand Central extension was partially built and is now a pedestrian tunnel extending a couple blocks north of the Herald Sq. subway station. Until 1967, the segment between Journal Sq. and Newark was jointly operated with the Pennsylvania RR. There were no turnstiles at Harrison and Newark and an extra fare paper ticket was required for those two stations. The tunnels to the old Hudson Terminal were placed on temporary elevated structures during the digging of the foundation of the World Trade Center. In the 70s, there was serious talk of extending the PATH to Plainfield but it never happened.
Great Job! Very concise history on this interesting transit system! Thanks for the great video.
Thank you! Please make sure to subscribe
Another neat fact is that Exchange Place had to be heavily modified after 9/11. PATH did new deep level excavation work to accomodate new switches since EP was never meant to function as a terminal.
Awesome my guy! Greetings from South Florida 🌴
Thanks! Make sure to subscribe 👍
@@DTransit yes my guy! I'm already subscribed to you
Well done!! Excellent trip down the time-line of NJ history
With the completion of the new United terminal A at Newark, the transportation link .. bus to airlink to train station to NY Penn station is lengthy and inconvenient. Your video gave me the idea to taxi or Uber to Newark Penn Station and take the Path to NY.
Great topic, and pretty good video. Just some minor tips: always be clear about the year of an event ("In September of that year"... which year?). Also make sure still image sizes match when showing side by side. Keep these coming, though!
When I was last there in 2010 19th Street station could still be seen from passing trains, it’s typical H&M columns and arches painted white, and some sort of plant installed in the station.
During the rebuilding of the World Trade Center the remains of the tunnels which led to the old Hudson Terminal could be seen for a while.
I don’t think anything remains of Newark Park Place, Manhattan Transfer or 28th Street Stations.
Do the two large lift bridges which the line passes over between Journal Square and Newark ever still open? I never saw them open, and they look very old.
I love this! I never knew the PATH had such an interesting history! What's your next video gonna be about?
Good stuff, though as a non-American I find it hard to distinguish between a spoken 'Newark Penn Station' and 'New York Penn Station'. I dare say locals don't have that problem!
I'm American and I have problems distinguishing them in the NJ/NYC dialects. Down in Philadelphia, they pronounce it New-Ark so it's much easier to distinguish
@@ft9kopits pronounced new URK
Many years ago late at night I knew someone on an Amtrak train who got confused and disembarked at the wrong Penn Station. The announcement of New York and Newark PENN STATION sounded alike.
Exchange place seems to be a nicer station than others on Path route on Jersey side
Fascinating, thank you! Have they recently relaxed their filming prohibition? \m/
Of course! And no, I don't think they've relaxed their rules; this footage was some I found on CZcams.
They're gonna play the 9/11 card forever.
@@saulschlapik6818 Yep. And now the covid card too.
That hasn't stopped me! :P czcams.com/video/bMJa8f55pfw/video.html

@@DTransitjust to let you know I was harassed and forced to delete my videos otherwise I would have given up my camera.

If they could only get that damn mile-long extension to EWR done, it would be that much better...
Uhhh when was that supposed to be the NEWARK Airport terminal 😭😭😭 I thought it was a 2 track and single island platform on the opposite side of the NEC?
It’s still a planned extension.
The headways on weekends tho, every 20 for the NEWK-WTC and every 15 for the JSQ-33 VIA HOB 😭
Because, the PATH is actually a commuter rail, not a metro.
Who would want to go to New Jersey????
What happened to H&M between exchange place and grove street 1930-1970?
How long did they work?
Is it a bad idea for Path trains to go Newark-33rd Street.
Kawasaki's PA5's and R160's have similar sounding motors.
The path line station was downstairs under the stock exchange 💱😞 building 😁🏫 in a very long time ago and I was visiting my cousin Bonnie who brother Tim Jones who was killed 💔😭🤬😤😭😭 crying in the back of the house 🏡 and the halfway house 🏠🏡 assumed that I was lying about the death ☠️💀💀😵💫🫣😱🧠💀😵💫💀💀 of Ron Ryan and Tim Jones who was my cousins killed by Guy Baker in St Paul police.
See what goes into making the train
I lived in Hoboken for 7 years. The PATH is one of the slowest transport systems I've ever used.
I noticed that too, last time I rode it. Path is a good name for it. A path is something you walk on. If you're in good shape, you can go 4 mph on a path. 🙂
It's pronounced "HOboken", not "hoBOken".
Real old timers pronounce it HO-buck-en.
Go ahead , take PATH in inclement weather... ... call your boss you're going to be late ....again....go on...take it !
H&M is better than the H&M Railroad obviously
