Well I'm sure they allowed politicians to ride that route they did a lot of testing.

clearance, power and signaling have been ongoing.... I teach classes in the electrical trade, and when power went live, I had some students that were re assigned, no apprentices on live track, and if trains are running, workers generally require track safety certification from the agency in charge of the track (NYC-TA MTA LIRR MTA MNRR) I surmise one exists for PATH, but I don't know anyone that has taken it.
