What is going on with PATH today? This month, year? What are any projects underway and what is their purpose?
I see lots of activity in the last year or so. Rails laying places, various equipment at locations such as under the interstate bridge by kerney yard, the new yard tracks and related activities at the facility in harrison, orange road cones stuck upside down into some sort of fittings in the ground.
Also, i've noticed recently that a lot of the rails, especially through curves, are really developing a very worn flat head. It can't be good for the new cars to be rolling over flattened rail heads with wavy ripple-like bumps in them. Are there any plans to replace the rails anytime soon?
What was behind the decision to sever the link with hudson yard?
Also, what is the schedule, if any, to begin lengthening platforms for 10 car operation?

No I'm not a railroad professional, but that doesn't mean I can't provide first hand observational comments.
