PATH 688 7-24-87
PATH PA-1A 688 (St Louis 1965) leads Newark-bound train into Harrison NJ. 7-24-87
PATH cars of classes PA-1 and PA-2 came in two body styles, A-cars with a cab at one end and C-cars which were cabless; all were motored.
The PATH compared favorably to the New York Subway when I was there, with clean air-conditioned cars with transverse seats. They even had a railfan seat like the cars in Chicago. It's too bad (according to the comments I've read) that they've become pricks since 9-11. They have a good operation and should be proud of it. Railfans aren't terrorists. With most of the information they need available publicly and the invention of very inconspicuous cell phone cameras, why would a real terrorist be hanging around on a platform with a camera you can see for a mile? (Yes, I know PATH owned the World Trade Center, or at least the ground it was on and that their Hudson Terminal was directly beneath it--but hassling railfans isn't going to make their system safer)
