Cedar Street Subway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cedar Street Subway was built by the Public Service Corporation, part of Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G), as a short underground connection (less than two blocks) for street trolley lines in Newark, New Jersey to reach the central terminal in downtown Newark.

[edit] Current events

A small section of the original Cedar Street Subway tunnel junction is back in service as of July 17, 2006, serving the Newark Light Rail, a new light rail line connecting Newark's Broad Street Station (NJ Transit's Morris & Essex Line Newark station) to Newark Penn Station (as part of the proposed Newark-Elizabeth Rail Link). The light rail cars utilize the Cedar Street Subway junction to connect the Newark Light Rail to the Newark City Subway briefly before terminating in Newark Penn Station.

The Cedar Street Subway itself, which runs west from the underground junction, remains abandoned.
