The "Dinky" forever!

[WMAveteran]

 The December 2010 edition of the NARP NEWS (National Association of Railroad Passengers) reported riders in New Jersey "beat back a threat to the "Dinky."  As you railfans know, this is a nickname for the iconic NJT 3-mile one car EMU operation that has run like forever from  Princeton Junction on the NEC to Princeton NJ and Princeton University.  "Over 150 area residents attended a Princeton Regional Planning Board meeting in near-universal opposition to replacing the Dinky with bus rapid transit."   . . ."5,000 supporters joined the cause on Facebook."  The Board killed ("tabled") a pro-bus resolution.  "But the university in November announced a plan for the western end of its campus that would cut the Dinky line 460 feet, relocating the station to the south.  Rail supporters oppose the move fearing, in part, a resulting ridership drop."
