PATH Lift Bridge

The PATH Lift is a lift bridge carrying the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) rapid transit line across the Hackensack River between Kearny and Jersey City, New Jersey.

The bridge was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) in 1900.

[1] It was part of the PRR main line that terminated at Exchange Place in Jersey City.

Upon the opening of the PRR North River Tunnels to Manhattan's Penn Station in 1910, the main line traffic was routed on a new alignment to the tunnels, and the Exchange Place line tracks were made available to the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad, a rapid transit line to lower Manhattan (later called PATH).

Since that time, it has been used solely by H&M/PATH trains on the Newark–World Trade Center line (known as Newark-Hudson Terminal before 1971).
