The diesel light rail line in South Jersey. One site has a video.

Probably would have been better off as commuter rail. Could have had direct through service to Phila and Atlantic City from Trenton via connection at Delair Bridge. Also, line still has local freight service on it. Light Rail has overnight curfew to allow locals to operate. Commuter rail would have allowed greater flexibility of operation.

Much of today's "light rail" isn't. Overengineered and Overpriced. Understandable, since the only money ever made on a transportation project goes to those who build it.

Light Rail:
Could that be defined as.


A) an excessive amount of wattage being consumed on/ by a train, producuing a overwhelming amount of lumens..

B) Freight cars filled with Helium

With his last post; Kevin has definitively confirmed (in my humble opinion) that cat pills are free in Canada -- either that or very strong.

By the way; shouldn't the third shep be spelled "sheeep" ?

CAT PILLS! Them's fightin' words, I think....maybe I will go have a nap and work on that one. However, that is one of the best ones out of the far North that I have heard lately. Way to go Kevin!

LOL I can just picture a freight car floating off the track because it was filled with Helium...

[:D] If you filled the freight cars with helium there would be no room for freight!

The helium cars out here are some of the heaviest cars on the railroad (wonder why?), also some of the oddest looking. (kinda like a silver cigar box with solid ends, open sides and all those dull silver cigars inside. You still see them around SW Kansas, North Texas, Western Oklahoma and eastern Colorado at the government helium activity facilities. Crews used to have fun radio-ing back to the agent or dispatcher that they were switching the "heeeeeeelium plaaaaant"!
