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)

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. (From A New York, A New Year)
