Newark Transit 
City Subway-Newark Light Rail

Newark City Subway

Newark

The PCC's ended their service on 8/24/01on the City Subway.  On 8/27/01 the new Light Rail low floor cars took over operation. Luckily I was there to witness the change over. 

The Newark system has seen other changes as well. The loop at Franklin Ave has been removed. Franklin Ave. is now called Branch Brook Park. The line itself has been extended north one mile with 2 new stations. This extension also leads to the new maintenance facility. This facility replaces the shops for the PCC's at Penn Station. There is another extension that is opened that will links Newark Penn Station with Newark Broad St station along the riverfront.

I have divided the City Subway & Light Rail by Station. Please enjoy the photos.
