Newport has two tracks one island platform and a side platform serving eastbound (to Hoboken and 33^rd) trains. It was reopened due to substantial increase in service. During overnight hours, only the island platform is used. The round columns prominently display the letter E for Erie Terminal which was at street level. At one time this station was so under utilized that trains skipped the stop overnight! The station has two long ramps from the lower Mezzanine to the upper Mezzanine which is two stories high with escalators and elevator to the street fare control. Due to the glass station house, the upper Mezzanine is quite cheerful and sunny..

Christopher Street has two tracks and an island platform. Due to heavy usage following the 9/11 disaster, trains skip this station to NJ in the morning rush and to New York in the PM Rush The Port Authority has plans to add a second exit but locals are concerned about esthetics The current entrance backs up to the street and customers going the "Wrong way" have a hard time accessing the station. Fare control is at the West (South) end. The street entrance is hard to find being in the side of a building. Based on counting steps, PATH is below the IRT 1 train

9^th Street has two tracks and an island platform. This station has also seen a sharp increase in usage since 9/11 and here again a second entrance is embroiled in controversy with the locals. Fare control is at the East (North) end. At street level the entrance is hard to find. A big help here would be for a pylon, banner or other signage to help find the entrance. Here too, access is controlled during rush hours. West of here there is a bell mouth which was planned to connect to the Lexington Avenue subway. Based on counting steps this station is between the IND 8^th Avenue and IND 6^th Avenue tracks at about the level of the lower mezzanine of the IND’s West 4^th Street Station.

Your webmaster had a chance to speak to PATH and NYCT track workers about the layout and got the same answer from both: The tracks are not on the same level! Think of a sandwich with two slices of bread- IND Local, PATH, and IND Express, Of course, at 14^th the Canarsie BMT is still lower.

14^th Street has two tracks and two wall platforms. There is no free crossover or crossunder to the other platform, Eastbound has a separate entrance from the street in the side of a building while westbound (Southbound) features common entrance with the sixth Avenue subway, But with separate fare controls. The common Mezzanine westbound features mosaic directional tablets for Hudson Tubes . 

19^th Street had two tracks and two wall platforms. It now serves as an emergency fan plant and was closed to speed up service

23^rd Street has two tracks and two wall platforms there is a crossunder to the subway but there are separate fare controls for each direction for subway and PATH. The PATH is slightly lower than the subway based on counting steps.
