This is good news. As much as I dream about an expanded PATH to Cranford / Aldine with stops at South Street / Oak Island, Dayton- ewr, Jersey gardens, downtown Elizabeth , Roselle and a branch off the main line at South Street proceeding on the Springfield Ave Irvington or using the hillside Branch to access Irvington from behind, it's not going to happen. The Port Authority is strictly centered on New York City. New Jersey worships New York City. If the PA can't afford the LaGuardia air train which is just a light rail, it's not going to build a Four Mile heavy rail extension to EWR. Newark needs its own Transit Authority!

In the 1970's the Port Authority flirted with extending service all the way to Plainfield, via the NEC and CNJ RoW. Some concerns got in the way and eventually when they got the green light, but by then they had lost interested in the project.
