$30.00 – $80.00PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson), originally known as the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (H&M), predates the original line of the NYC Subway. First planned in 1874, existing technologies could not safely tunnel under the Hudson River. Construction began on the existing tunnels in 1890, but stopped shortly thereafter when funding ran out. Construction did not resume until 1900 under the direction of William Gibbs McAdoo.
Opened in 1907, the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad tunnels were designed to link three of the major railroad terminals on the Hudson River in New Jersey—the Lackawanna in Hoboken, the Erie and PRR in Jersey City—with New York City. Two sets of tunnels connected commuters to the business centers in lower Manhattan and midtown Manhattan along 6th Ave. As the H&M was opened only 3 years after the original subway extensions were planned from 33rd St to Grand Central (original plans for Grand Central Terminal show space for a never built H&M station) and from 9th St to Astor Pl.
The H&M was only successful for a short 20 years as Pennsylvania Station opened in midtown in 1910 and the Holland Tunnel opened in 1927, diverting rail traffic from New Jersey terminals and then by commuters who chose to drive. Two original stations at 19th St and 28th St were closed to speed up service. By the 1950s the railroad was in bankruptcy but continued to operate. In 1961 the Port Authority was tapped to construct a new World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. In a deal with the states of New York and New Jersey the Port Authority agreed to take over the railroad and moved the location of the new WTC to the Hudson Terminal of the H&M in lower Manhattan. The Port Authority upgraded the system and changed the name to PATH.

$30.00 – $80.00The Metro North Pascack Valley Line is a mostly single tracked line running from Spring Valley, NY through northern New Jersey to Hoboken Terminal. Pascack Valley is one of two Metro North lines which run through New Jersey (the other being the Port Jervis Line) but unlike the Port Jervis Line which is owned by Metro North in New York, the Pascack Valley Line is entirely owned by New Jersey Transit and the stations in New York are leased to Metro North. The line was originally chartered in 1856 and was bought by the Erie Railroad in 1896. New Jersey Transit and Metro North took over in 1983.

$30.00 – $80.00The Metro North Port Jervis Line runs from Port Jervis where Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York meet, through Sullivan and Rockland Counties, NY, and then through northern New Jersey to the Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, NJ. Much of the Port Jervis Line started as the New York and Erie Railroad Main Line, opening to Port Jervis in 1848. The original line ran through the towns of Monroe, Chester, Goshen, and Middletown but this stretch was abandoned in 1984 when Metro North chose to move service to a longer, but faster and straighter, route.
The Erie Main Line once reached Buffalo and Chicago via the Southern Tier of New York State but lost money and ridership after World War II. The Port Jervis Line is one of two Metro North lines which run through New Jersey. The tracks in New York are owned and operated by Metro North but the tracks in New Jersey are owned and operated by New Jersey Transit. Port Jervis trains run to Hoboken Terminal but transfers are available at Secaucus Junction for service to Penn Station.

$30.00 – $80.00The Pink Line is the most recent addition to the CTA but uses some of the original tracks of the old Metropolitan West Side elevated. The Douglas Park branch opened in 1896 and ran as far west as Oak Park Ave until it was cut back to 54th Ave in Cicero. When the Garfield Park branch of the Met was removed and replaced by the Congress Line (running in the median of Interstate 290) the Douglas Park branch was connected to it and routed through the Milwaukee-Dearborn Subway.
The Congress-Douglas Lines operated a skip-stop service with stations being designated as A, B, or A/B. The Douglas branch ran B trains exclusively until this service was discontinued. In 2005 the CTA began studies looking at making the Douglas branch a separate line, originally known as the Silver Line. In 2006 a contest found that pink was the preferred choice. The CTA rehabilitated a section of track known as the Paulina Connector which was part of the original Metropolitan elevated but was connected to the Lake St Line. This allows Douglas branch trains to run over the Loop for the first time in half a century.
