The '''Journal Square Transportation Center''' is a [[Intermodal passenger transport|multi-modal]] [[transportation hub]] located on Magnolia Avenue and [[County Route 501 (New Jersey)|Kennedy Boulevard]]<ref name=address/> at [[Journal Square]] in [[Jersey City, New Jersey]], United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wikimapia.org/4000131/Journal-Square-Transportation-Center|title=Journal Square Transportation Center - Wikimapia|website=Wikimapia.org|access-date=December 17, 2017}}</ref> Owned and operated by the [[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]], the complex includes a ten-story tower, a retail plaza, a bus terminal, a two-level parking facility, and the Journal Square station of the [[PATH (rail system)|PATH]] rail transit system. The underground station has a high ceiling and a mezzanine level connecting the platforms.

==History==
[[File:SummitAveStation(H&M)1910sJSQ.png|thumb|left|Summit Avenue in the 1910s]]
[[File:Journal Sq PATH west ribs jeh.jpg|thumb|left|Supporting [[spandrels]]]]
[[File:JSQ platforms.jpg|left|thumb|[[Cross-platform interchange|Cross-platform transfer]] between [[Journal Square–33rd Street (via Hoboken)|JSQ-Hoboken-33rd]] trains and [[Newark-World Trade Center (PATH service)|NWK-WTC]] trains]]
The transportation center is built over a [[Cut (earthmoving)|cut]] through [[Bergen Hill]]. The Bergen Hill cut was originally excavated in 1834&ndash;1838 by the [[New Jersey Rail Road and Transportation Company]], later part of the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] (PRR), to access the [[Hudson Waterfront|Hudson River waterfront]].<ref name="ERA-Bulletin-Sep2015"/> Passenger trains traveled to what became [[Exchange Place (PRR station)|Exchange Place]], while freight trains on the [[Passaic and Harsimus Line|Harsimus Branch]] continued to the [[Harsimus Stem Embankment]].

The center began as the Summit Avenue station of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (H&M), forerunner of PATH. The stop at [[Summit Avenue (Hudson Palisades)|Summit Avenue]], located between Grove Street and Manhattan Transfer stations, opened on April 14, 1912, as an [[infill station]].<ref name="wsj19120503">{{cite news |title=Hudson & Manhattan Co.

The Summit Avenue station was not complete until February 23, 1913, when two outer side platforms in a [[Spanish solution]] opened, and an enclosed mezzanine opened.<ref name="ERA-Bulletin-Sep2015">{{cite journal|last=Chiasson|first=George|date=September 2015|title=Rails Under the Hudson Revisited - The Hudson and Manhattan|url=https://issuu.com/erausa/docs/2015-09-bulletin|journal=Electric Railroaders' Association Bulletin|volume=58|pages=2&ndash;3, 6–7|access-date=April 10, 2018|via=Issuu|number=9}}</ref> At the time, passengers traveling on the [[Journal Square–33rd Street|33rd Street line]] alighted and boarded on the outer side platforms, while passengers traveling on the [[Newark–World Trade Center|Newark–Hudson Terminal]] line alighted and boarded on the center island platform. A bypass track for eastbound express trains was located to the south of the eastbound side platform.<ref name="ERA-Bulletin-Oct2015">{{cite journal|last=Chiasson|first=George|date=September 2015|title=Rails Under the Hudson Revisited - The Hudson and Manhattan|url=https://issuu.com/erausa/docs/2015-10-bulletin|journal=Electric Railroaders' Association Bulletin|volume=58|pages=2&ndash;3, 5|access-date=April 10, 2018|via=Issuu|number=10}}</ref>

The district was renamed Journal Square on January 1, 1925, after the newspaper, ''[[The Jersey Journal]]''. Around that time, the Summit Avenue station was renovated and also rededicated as "Journal Square".<ref name="ERA-Bulletin-Sep2015" /><ref name="tbr19250101">{{cite news |title=Summit Avenue Station Named Journal Square |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/39416755/journal_square_name_december_20_1924/ |access-date=November 21, 2019 |work=[[The Bergen Record]] |date=December 20, 1924 |location=Hackensack, New Jersey |page=7|via=Newspapers.com {{open access}}}}</ref> The open-spandrel concrete [[arch bridge]] carrying [[County Route 501 (New Jersey)|Kennedy Boulevard]] and the station, built in 1926, is a pared-down version of a more ambitious elevated plaza scheme proposed by consulting engineer [[Abraham Burton Cohen]]. Passageways were suspended from the arches to connect the railroad station to bus stops on the bridge deck above (the bus stops were later removed).<ref>Cohen, A. Burton. &quot;Hudson County Boulevard Bridge Plaza.&quot; ''Purdue Engineering Review'' 21, No. 4 (May 1926): 3-6, 22.</ref> The storage yards northeast of the station were also expanded. The number of tracks in the station was increased from three to six to accommodate terminating trains from 33rd Street, as well as both local and express trains from Newark. There were two island platforms serving the station's four inner tracks, allowing [[cross-platform interchange]]s between Newark&ndash;Hudson Terminal and Journal Square&ndash;33rd Street trains, and bypass tracks for express trains that went around the four inner tracks.<ref name="ERA-Bulletin-Oct2015"/> The Journal Square station was rededicated on June 1, 1929.<ref name="ERA-Bulletin-Sep2015" />

In 1962, the Port Authority bought the H&M and reorganized it as PATH. Reconstruction of the station began in 1968.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.panynj.gov/path/path-history-1968.html?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=385&width=385|title=1968|website=Panynj.gov|access-date=December 17, 2017}}</ref><ref name="pdn19681017">{{cite news |title=Paterson Firm Gets $247,000 PATH Contract |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/39416569/journal_square_october_17_1968/ |access-date=November 21, 2019 |work=The Paterson Daily News |date=October 17, 1968 |page=53|via=Newspapers.com {{open access}}}}</ref> Though the cornerstone was installed on September 20, 1972, the transportation center itself was opened in stages in 1973, 1974, and 1975<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.panynj.gov/bus-terminals/jstc-history.html|title=History - Journal Square Transportation Center - The Port Authority of NY & NJ|website=Panynj.gov|access-date=December 17, 2017}}</ref> during the late phases of the [[Brutalist architecture]] movement.

Part of the ceiling at Journal Square fell onto the platform during the rush hour on August 8, 1983, killing two and injuring eight.

===Rapid transit service===
The PATH station is the southern terminus of two PATH lines, [[Journal Square–33rd Street]] on weekdays and [[Journal Square–33rd Street (via Hoboken)]] lines on weekends, late nights, and holidays. It is also a stop on the [[Newark-World Trade Center]] line. The station also serves as PATH's administrative headquarters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.panynj.gov/bus-terminals/journal-square-transportation-center.html|title=Journal Square Transportation Center - The Port Authority of NY & NJ|website=Panynj.gov|access-date=December 17, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.panynj.gov/bus-terminals/jstc-history.html|title=History - Journal Square Transportation Center|author=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey|author-link=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey|access-date=May 28, 2019}}</ref>

At the platform level, the inside express tracks are typically used by trains on the Journal Square–33rd Street and Journal Square–33rd Street (via Hoboken) lines, while the outside local tracks are used by trains on the Newark–World Trade Center line.<ref name="tracks">{{NYCS const|trackref|trackbook3}}</ref>
