Where do the traks for Newark PS end? It seems to go out of the station, unlike 33rd where it just hits a wall at the last stop.
There is quite a bit of PATH trackage west of Newark Penn. It works like this.
At the end of Platform H on the upper level, the track normally used for arrivals (I am not sure of PATH's track number designations) descends to main track level. Both the arrival and departure PATH tracks are behind the walls at the far west ends of NEC tracks 1 and 2.
Behind those walls, a pocket track branches out between them, which is the normal way of reversing PATH trains. This track extends about 2 city blocks west of the station - enough space to lay up a train and still use the pocket as a reversing track.
Then, both tracks (but not the pocket - it remains between NEC tracks 1 and 2 until it ends) ascend, cross over NEC tracks 2, 3 and 4, then descend on the McCarter Highway side of NEC track 4, and extend as a pair of layup tracks all the way to South Street, approximately half a mile west of Penn Station, where they end at bumpers.
(And FWIW, immediately across South Street are the platform remains of the former PRR South Street Station.)
