Growing up in the 1970s, the 'Dinky' was the 1- or 2- electric railcars which ran from Princeton to the main Pennsylvania RR line at Princeton Junction. I sometimes took it to the Junction, to pick up a NJ Transit or Amtrak train to NYC to go see concerts.

Love a Dinky 🚂 Princeton still has theirs.

Hmm, I was in Princeton this spring for a walkabout on the University campus. I couldn't seem to find the train station or tracks? It was a long time since I'd been in town.
