CAR NAMING PROGRAM

In 1972, PATH revived the railroad tradition of naming passenger cars for the communities and areas served by the rapid transit system.Although the PATH system has only 13.9 miles (22.3 km) of road, it is a vital connecting link in the travels of 200,000 daily riders from more than 300 communities in New Jersey and New York.The car naming program was initiated on December 13, 1972, with the naming of cars for the Cities of Hoboken, Jersey City, New York, and Newark. The name of each car, along with a short description of the community, appears on a photoengraved brushed aluminum plaque at each end of the car interior.A roster of the communities which have had PATH cars named in their honor appears below :
