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. (From A New York, A New Year)

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. (From A New York, A New Year)

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. (From A New York, A New Year)

So this car from Jersey is parked near my block. We pull past and I can barely see through the smoke in the car. So just to mess with them, I honk my horn, flash my lights, and give them a thumbs up. I see them start to leave, and I stealthly follow them out of the development and onto the highway. Then they drove to Facades. I hope they had a good time dancing. (From Summer Break 2005)

Hopefully there was not really an asbestos hazard here, and the owner or contractor put it up to deter people. In the next photo, note that the entire building is exposed to air besides a very small portion with this tape. If there was really an asbestos hazard, the operation was completely haphazard.
