   There is a grade crossing on PATH near the Harrison service center, but   
   that crossing is not open to the public. It gives access to Amtrak-owned   
   vehicles to the sidings along the NEC tracks. Last year there was an   
   accident on that crossing when a PATH train hit an Amtrak truck that got   
   stuck in the crossing.
