The PATH fleet is getting older and older. Since their cars are the same size as the IRT subway cars it would make sense for them to get some R142s to replace the current equipment. Wait, it is the Port Authority, so dog forbid they do anything that makes sense.

That would be Aeroflot for Russians. Lufthansa for Germans.
