==History==
The Journal Square–33rd Street service originated as the '''Grove Street–33rd Street''' service operated by the [[Hudson and Manhattan Railroad]] (H&M).  It started operating between [[Grove Street station (PATH)|Grove Street]] in [[Jersey City, New Jersey]] and [[33rd Street station (PATH)|33rd Street]] in [[Manhattan]], beginning September 6, 1910. The [[Newark–World Trade Center|Newark–Hudson Terminal]] line between [[Hudson Terminal]] and Grove Street also started operating at this time.<ref name="ERA-Bulletin-Jul2015">{{cite journal | title=Rails Under the Hudson Revisited - The Hudson and Manhattan|first=George|last=Chiasson|journal=Electric Railroaders' Association Bulletin|via=Issuu | date=July 2015 | url=https://issuu.com/erausa/docs/2015-07-bulletin | access-date=April 10, 2018|pages=2&ndash;3, 5|volume=58|number=7}}</ref>{{rp|3}} The Newark line was extended to [[Manhattan Transfer station|Manhattan Transfer]] on October 1, 1911, then subsequently expanded again.<ref>{{cite news |title=Improved Transit Facilities by Newark High Speed Line |url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D05E2D71531E233A25752C0A9669D946096D6CF |newspaper=The New York Times |date=October 1, 1911 |page=XX2 |access-date=July 19, 2011}}</ref> A stop at [[Journal Square Transportation Center|Summit Avenue]] (now Journal Square), located between Grove Street and Manhattan Transfer, opened on April 14, 1912, as an [[infill station]] on the Newark–Hudson Terminal line.

After [[Hurricane Sandy]] flooded the PATH system in October 2012, service on the line was suspended. For most of November, trains ran between Newark Penn Station and 33rd Street. The Journal Square–33rd Street line was temporarily extended to cover service on the Newark–World Trade Center line, which was suspended.<ref>{{cite web | title=Press Releases: STATEMENT OF PATH ENGINEERS AND TRANSIT EXPERT ON THE RESUMPTION OF PATH SERVICE FROM NEWARK TO 33rd STREET BEGINNING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2012 | website=Port Authority of New York & New Jersey | date=2012-11-11 | url=http://www.panynj.gov/press-room/press-item.cfm?headLine_id=1703 | access-date=2018-04-30 | archive-date=2021-05-15 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210515181031/http://www.panynj.gov/press-room/press-item.cfm?headLine_id=1703 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Regular service on the line between Journal Square and 33rd Street was resumed on November 26, 2012, but full service would not be restored until early 2013.<ref>{{cite web|title=Maps & Schedule: PATH Partial Service Restoration|url=http://www.panynj.gov/path/maps-schedules.html|work=PATH website|publisher=The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey|access-date=November 18, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121203072937/http://www.panynj.gov/path/maps-schedules.html|archive-date=December 3, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> During the first few weeks of service after the hurricane, the stations at Christopher Street and 9th Street were closed due to overcrowding concerns.
