Points of Interest	Penn Station is the southern terminal of the line. There are two platforms to unload trains, and two to load trains. During the PCC era, this station also served as the main shops and yards for the line. The two lines of the Light rail system converge here. Ther original Newark City Subway line, and the newer line to Broad Station Station. The New line uses the former subway "exits" for the Cedar St Subway. just beyond the station. Some Grove Street trains thru route with Broad St trains...
