Those curves are no joke. Especially when the PATH reaches the New York side of the river: Google Maps shows a beeline from JC to Christopher Street, but in reality, the line first goes to Morton Street (you can actually see the vents if you go there), then it makes a very sharp turn north onto Washington Street, and then another very sharp turn to head east onto Christopher Street. If you want to speed up trains then a full on reconstruction of the tunnel will be needed.

Don’t know if this line actually exists but I have heard the PATH (known in the past as the H&M) was originally supposed to connect all of the major Hudson River terminals except for Weehawken. So Hoboken (Delaware Lackawanna and Western), Newport (Erie), Exchange Place (Pennsylvania Railroad which also owned the H&M), and Communipaw Terminal (Central Railroad of New Jersey). The final terminal does not have a PATH station and is currently a part of Liberty State Park.
The junction where the 33rd/Hoboken line splits from the WTC line was originally going to be a four-way junction with the 33rd/Hoboken line continuing south to Communipaw if I recall from a map I saw.
