The line begins at a junction with Amtrak's Northeast Corridor at Lane 40°41′31″N 74°11′54″W / 40.69188°N 74.1982°W / 40.69188; -74.1982 (LANE Interlocking) Interlocking near Waverly Yard 40°41′45″N 74°11′40″W / 40.695856°N 74.194566°W / 40.695856; -74.194566 (Waverly Yard). It runs next to the Northeast Corridor, just to the east, along what was originally Track 0 (the old P&H Branch east of the yard is now abandoned).
After about a mile, the Greenville Secondary splits to the east to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Bridge, and the P&H Line passes under the Lehigh Line and turns east. Access to the Lehigh Line eastbound is provided from the Greenville Branch via a track into the Oak Island Yard 40°42′31″N 74°08′17″W / 40.70867°N 74.138103°W / 40.70867; -74.138103 (Oak Island Yard); another track leaves the Oak Island Yard to join the P&H Line headed northbound.
After crossing the Passaic River on the Point-No-Point Bridge 40°44′30″N 74°07′16″W / 40.741672°N 74.121095°W / 40.741672; -74.121095 (Passaic and Harsimus Line Bridge over Passaic River), the P&H Line passes over PATH and turns east, parallel to PATH. A track splitting just before the overpass accesses the area south of PATH. The P&H Line then heads east through West Hudson and then across the Harsimus Branch Lift Bridge over the Hackensack River to Marion Junction 40°44′16″N 74°04′25″W / 40.737665°N 74.07372°W / 40.737665; -74.07372 (Marion Junction), where the Northern Running Track goes north, with most rail traffic.
The P&H Line past Marion Junction is now a secondary connection through the Journal Square Transportation Center 40°43′56″N 74°03′47″W / 40.732141°N 74.063114°W / 40.732141; -74.063114 (Journal Square) to the National Docks Branch via a short section of the former River Line. River Line in Hoboken and Weehawken is now used for the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
