The '''14th Street station''' is a [[metro station|station]] on the [[PATH (rail system)|PATH]] system. Located at the intersection of [[14th Street (Manhattan)|14th Street]] and [[Sixth Avenue (Manhattan)|Sixth Avenue]] (Avenue of the Americas) in the [[Chelsea, Manhattan|Chelsea]] neighborhood of [[Manhattan]], [[New York City]], it is served by the [[Hoboken–33rd Street]] and [[Journal Square–33rd Street]] lines on weekdays, and by the [[Journal Square–33rd Street (via Hoboken)]] line on weekends.

== History ==
The original station, opened on February 25, 1908,<ref name="nyt-1908-02-262">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1908/02/26/archives/trolley-tunnel-open-to-jersey-president-turns-on-power-for-first.html|title=Trolley Tunnel Open to New Jersey|date=February 26, 1908|newspaper=The New York Times|page=1|quote=The natural barrier which has separated New York from New Jersey since those States came into existence was, figuratively speaking, wiped away at 3:40½ o'clock yesterday afternoon when the first of the two twin tubes of the McAdoo tunnel system was formally opened, thus linking Manhattan with Hoboken, and establishing a rapid transit service beneath the Hudson River.|accessdate=July 20, 2016}}</ref> was modified slightly as a result of the building of the Sixth Avenue Line. The platforms were extended to the south, and the northern ends were closed. This allowed the downtown platform to share a street entrance with the downtown IND subway.

The southbound platform was renovated in 1986.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/05/27/nyregion/new-york-day-by-day-path-recalls-early-years.html|title=NEW YORK DAY BY DAY; PATH Recalls Early Years|last=Anderson|first=Susan Heller|date=1986-05-27|last2=Dunlap|first2=David W.|newspaper=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331|access-date=2016-07-20}}</ref> The next year, the station's platforms were lengthened.<ref>{{Cite news|date=1987-06-25|title='Longer' Waiting for PATH Riders|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-jersey-journal-longer-waiting-for/161330678/|access-date=2024-12-21|work=The Jersey Journal|pages=53}}</ref>

== Station layout ==
{{NYCS Platform Layout 14th Street-Sixth Avenue Station}}
This PATH station consists of two [[side platform]]s, which are not connected by a crossover or crossunder. The southbound platform shares a mezzanine area with the [[IND Sixth Avenue Line]]'s [[14th Street (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|station]] at 14th Street, which the PATH station is located in between, but the northbound platform exits directly to the street.<ref name="tracks">{{NYCS const|trackref|trackbook3}}</ref> The tracks of the PATH station are located above the Sixth Avenue Line's express tracks, which the tunnels for were dug using the "deep-bore" tunneling method in the mid-1960s, and are not visible from the platforms. The deep-bore tunnel's round shape becomes square below this station and at 23rd Street, where provisions exist for lower level platforms. There is no free transfer between either platform, nor to any of the other stations in the [[14th Street/Sixth Avenue (New York City Subway)|14th Street/Sixth Avenue]] station complex.

== 19th Street station ==
North of the 14th Street station is the abandoned 19th Street station,<ref>{{cite news|title=The PATH Turns 100|url=https://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2008/02/24/nyregion/20080225_HM_SLIDESHOW_2.html|accessdate=30 October 2016|work=The New York Times|date=26 February 2008}}</ref> which was the original northern terminus of the [[Hudson and Manhattan Railroad]]. It opened on February 25, 1908,<ref name="nyt-1908-02-262" /> and closed on August 1, 1954.<ref>{{cite web| title = The Hudson & Manhattan Railroad – Celebrating 100 Years of Service to the NY/NJ Metropolitan Region

== Subway connections ==
Direct [[New York City Subway]] connections include:
* [[14th Street (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|14th Street]] on the [[IND Sixth Avenue Line]] ({{NYCS trains|Sixth local}})
* [[14th Street (IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line)|14th Street]] on the [[IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line]] ({{NYCS trains|Broadway-Seventh south}}) via a block-long passageway
* [[Sixth Avenue (BMT Canarsie Line)|Sixth Avenue]] on the [[BMT Canarsie Line]] ({{NYCS trains|Canarsie}})

Passengers traveling from New Jersey must exit to street level, enter a nearby subway entrance, and descend to a separate subway mezzanine in order to access the IND station complex.

The entrances for New Jersey-bound PATH commuters are on the southwest and northwest corners of 6th Avenue and 14th Street. The entrance for 33rd Street-bound PATH commuters is on the east side of 6th Avenue, midblock between 13th and 14th Streets. [[The New School]] and [[Union Square, Manhattan|Union Square]] are nearby.<ref>{{cite NYC neighborhood map|Union Square}}</ref>
