The trip started off when I took the Pascack Valley train to Hoboken Terminal, where I would transfer to the PATH. On the PATH platform, I noticed a TDD payphone. I activated the statistics menu by making a toll-free call and dialing: *8**8*. The drawer ejected, and I saw this dirty monstrosity of a TDD! I was even more surprised to see that it said it had barely been used more than 5 times. This is quite a bit of grime for only 5 uses.

The PATH terminal at Hoboken Terminal looks old because it is old. The signs bear a pre-WWII look that calls back to the early 1900s construction of the entire PATH system.

The PATH system uses some type of railway signalling I'm not familiar with

This is a safety device, located near the end of the line Hoboken terminal, the final station stop on for two PATH lines. When a signal passed at danger condition occurs (when the train runs a red signal), the raised white bars perpendicular to the track cause the train's emergency brakes to activate. A nearby pneumatic compressor located on the platform can raise or lower the bars depending on the signal.

This exposed, broken, and painted over lightbulb gives you an idea of just how old Hoboken Terminal's PATH station is. This station was originally built in 1908.

This was a bit weird... we just left Mike's aunt's apartment in Irving Plaza. As we crossed the street about a block away from Webster Hall, we noticed this guy laying down on the street possibly pooled in blood. I quickly snapped some pictures as Mike C rushed us by, insisting that we not get involved. To me it looked like the guy got hit by a car. Then, oddly, it looked like the driver exited his car and proceeded to throw a punch or two at the guy on the ground, for some unknown reason. I let the first cops I saw nearby know about it. Without saying a word, they nodded at each other and headed off. The silent coolness of it all reminded me of agents in the Matrix.

No one is standing nearby on the sidewalk here because there was a guy laying in the street right behind the grey car parked at the corner. Everyone was standing way back and it looked like someone was calling 911.
