The Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) is a 13.8-mile-long Rapid Transit system running between New York and New Jersey via the Hudson River and consists of 4 Lines. The lines are the Newark-WTC Line (Red Line on map), Journal Square to 33rd St Line (Yellow Line on map), Hoboken to 33rd St Line (Blue Line on map), and Hoboken to WTC (Green Line on map) (During weekdays. During Late Nights and Weekends, Green Line is not running while Yellow Line and Blue Line are combined.) There are 13 stations in total. Of those stations 5 are termini, and 3 are above ground. The system has one large yard at Harrison and one small yard at Journal Square. The line runs in Newark, Harrison, Jersey City, Hoboken, and Manhattan. If this route were to be made, the code would be NCC-R6 01 This route would feature 3 type of rolling stock. The PA-3 entered service in 1972 and was built by Hawker-Siddely. The PA-3 cars are 51'8", have painted aluminum bodies, and have two doors per side. The PA-4 entered service in 1986 and was built by Kawasaki. PA-4 cars are 51'8", have stainless steel bodies, and have three doors per side. The PA-5 entered service in 2009 and was built by Kawasaki. PA-5 cars are 51'8", have stainless steel bodies, and have three doors per side. These are the newest cars and have a blue front unlike the other trains and features newer technology including, touchscreen panels, combined throttle and braking, and automatic announcements.

You forgot the PA1 & PA2 trainsets built in the 1960s the 2nd car is where the conductor controls are. I've been on one in 2009 70 mph is attained on Harrison to JSQ. Late nights & Weekends for PA1-4 on JSQ 34th Herald Square these have both HOB 33rd st lit up towards Manhattan but return trips are HOB JSQ lit up PA 5 HOB Blue 33rd Orange
I purposely left out the PA1 & PA2 trainsets because of how similar they are to the PA3. It reduces the likelihood of DTG considering this route. Also I am pretty sure the PATH doesn't go anything above 55.
Thank you for telling me about this and that 70 mph speed was based on my PA1 PA2 ride Newark to World Trade center trip in 2009. Tunnel section max speed 40 mph source is the NY Times paywall after 5 free articles digitalized article from 1992
This is a great idea I hope this gets made PATH is very interesting when it comes to history and it’s tracks and stations
PATH would be a great route. I've ridden this many times usually from Harrison to 33rd or World Trade. A lot of times Path is more convenient than NJT schedules living in western suburbs of NJ. I would enjoy Path on TSW2!
