Human PATH conductors generally still say Pavonia-Newport. <\/p>\n<p>The station was originally named Erie, after the Erie Railroad, explaining the station columns adorned with the letter &#8220;E,&#8221; before eventually being renamed after the street adjacent to the station, Pavonia Avenue. Pavonia then became Pavonia\/Newport as Newport Associates began redeveloping the waterfront properties.
