History

The Hoboken-33rd Street service originated as the Hoboken–19th Street service operated by the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (H&M) on February 26, 1908.^[3] The first of what would become the four lines of the H&M/PATH service, it operated from Hoboken Terminal and ran through the Uptown Hudson Tubes, but ran only as far north as 19th Street in Manhattan.^[4] An extension of the H&M from 19th Street to 23rd Street opened on June 15, 1908.^[5] The line was expanded to 33rd Street on November 10, 1910, with an intermediate station at 28th Street.^[5]

The 28th Street station was closed in September 1939 during the construction of the IND Sixth Avenue Line in Manhattan,^[6] and the 19th Street station was closed on August 1, 1954.^[7] The H&M itself was succeeded by Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) in 1962.^[8]

After the September 11 attacks destroyed the World Trade Center station, service on the Hoboken–33rd Street line was suspended during overnight hours, with all service provided by the Newark–33rd Street via Hoboken branch.^[9] When the Exchange Place station reopened in June 2003,^[10] the Newark–33rd Street via Hoboken branch was truncated to Journal Square, but operated during weekends as well. It was renamed the Journal Square–33rd Street (via Hoboken) branch.^{[citation needed]}

The Hoboken station suffered severe damage from Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the PATH system in late October 2012.^[11] As a result, the station was closed for repairs caused by damage to trainsets, mud, rusted tracks, and destroyed critical electrical equipment after approximately 8 ft (2.4 m) of water submerged the tunnels in and around the station. Due to the lengthy amount of time that was necessary to complete the repairs, service on the line was temporarily suspended. On December 19, 2012, the line resumed operations after the Hoboken station reopened.^[12]

In October 2024, the PANYNJ announced that the Hoboken Terminal PATH station would be closed for refurbishment for most of February 2025. During this time, the Hoboken–33rd Street route would be suspended and replaced with a temporary 33rd Street–World Trade Center route.^[13][14]
