Re: NJT conducting “Princeton Transitway Study” on Dinky ROW

I'm not 100% sure either, but I think they wanted to simplify the fleet to coaches and locomotives. Plus, I believe there would be less FRA checking if they don't have a fleet of MUs considered to be "locomotives".

Unlike MU cars, buses can be off-the-shelf models or leased from a larger fleet. In the end, it's so much simpler to get buses than to purchase MU rail cars from the tiny number of manufacturers that still remain.
