Anyone else notice all the 8's popping up on the NWK - WTC line?

Not having ridden in the front end of a PATH train in a month or so, I didn't notice them yet. I always remember Harrison only being able to acocmodate 7 cars since the trains pull all the way to the end of the platform.
"This is an Raritan Valley express train to Allentown stopping at Newark Penn Station, Westfield, Plainfield, Bridgewater, Somerville, Raritan, High Bridge, Philipsburg, Easton, Bethlehem, and Allentown. Transfer at Newark for service to West Trenton and Lakehurst. Next stop is Newark."
New cars (PA-5) have begun daily testing in tunnels. 8 test cars will make stopping at correct location quicker for Engineers { 7 years } stopping at 7 car marker. Harrison station has always platformed 8 cars for passenger service since standard Newark to WTC service prior to Sept. 11th was 8 car consist.
kinda agreeing with both of you on this one.
yes they do pull to the end of the platform, but in harrison, I forget on which side, the 8 and 7 car markers are like right next to each other
