princeton branch

The Princeton Branch is a branch off of New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor Line. Also known as the Dinky Line, the branch is served by special shuttle trains. In Princeton University slang, the train is called the 'Dinky', hence the nickname of the line. ('Dinky' is a term for a small locomotive. The term is on face anachronistic, because the line is today served by an electric multiple unit coach, although the Federal Railroad Administration considers any power car to be a "locomotive.") NJ Transit has also considered using diesel multiple unit coaches on the line. The Princeton Branch provides rail service directly to the Princeton University campus. With the advent of AirTrain service between Newark Liberty International Airport and the airport's NJ transit station, it became possible to travel between the University campus and Newark Airport entirely by train (prior to AirTrain service, buses took passengers between Newark Penn Station and the airport).
