In 1953 the line was cut back about one block to accommodate construction of a turning loop, and a new station, still called Franklin Avenue, was opened adjacent to Anthony Street. Newark City Subway at the Franklin Avenue station, 1965Īn extension to a wooden station at North 6th Street or Franklin Avenue was opened in 1940, located north of the present Branch Brook Park station. This part of the subway included a grade-separated junction with a connection to the lower level of the Newark Public Service Terminal that was used for only a few months (June to September). The terminal below Penn Station has five tracks, two incoming and three outgoing, connected by two loop tracks. Operation of the complete subway to the newly built Penn Station was delayed until 1937. The original Newark City Subway line had its own right-of-way and did not share city streets with local traffic, except at the Orange Street grade crossing.
Only one grade crossing was present on the original subway the line crosses Orange Street at grade so it can pass over the below-grade Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (now NJT Morristown Line) immediately to the north. The southernmost part, south of Warren Street, was capped with a new road, known as Raymond Boulevard. Works Progress Administration artists decorated the underground stations with Art Deco scenes from life on the defunct Morris Canal. The line opened in 1935 along the old Morris Canal right-of-way, from Broad Street (now known as Military Park) to Heller Parkway (now replaced by the nearby Branch Brook Park station).
