Assuming the reporter understood the PATH official correctly and assuming the PATH official was correct and fully understood the question, this is great news!
In the article linked above, the reporter wrote:
Unlike in most of New York City's newest subway trains, rail buffs will still be able to stand inside at the front of the train in the new PATH cars, face pressed to the long glass, to take in the rush of tracks, tunnels and stations alongside the engineer's enclosed perch.I emailed the reporter to seek clarification, as some people were expecting, or even outright claiming, that PATH would keep the front cab unfolded, thereby blocking off access to the railfan window that would then be within the full width cab. But in his response to me he confirmed that the PATH official he quoted in the article also told him that the front cab would be folded, effectively making it a narrow cab, and thereby allowing access to the railfan window, and providing more room for the passengers.
