It looks like a subway line at first glance, but it is regulated by the FRA like freight and commuter railroads (and PATH).
I don't know why they don't bring it over to FTA jurisdiction like the subway - I assume there is some backwards logic to keeping it in the weird limbo, but nobody's ever explained why except <historical reasons>.
