Reply to comment by Aggravating_Rise_179 in Weekend PATH service by ah73911

Is it fully separate now? I thought I had read that it was because it shares tunnels with Amtrak so the tracks are adjacent.

PATH and Amtrak don't share tracks, they couldn't, not even compatible. But the tracks run ride by side on the Dock bridge between Newark and Harrison.

I think you are thinking about NJ Transit.

Nah definitely PATH, I was wrong about the tunnels though, but PATH runs parallel/adjacent to North East Corridor near on the Newark line, and uses the Amtrak owned Dock Bridge. Both are reasons I commonly see cited for why PATH is FRA regulated, but I can't seem to find anything officially confirming that.
