Parts of the PATH system used to have a 60MPH maximum speed. That's been cut back for some reason.
Even parts that used to have lower speed limits have had them reduced further - as an example, there's been a slow restriction entering the portal for quite a few years now, with "temporary" trackside [S] and [R] markers, which are normally used when there's track maintenance going on. They seem to be permanent now, though, with a radar speed detector / display by the employee stop. Those have been showing up elsewhere in the system, too.
