The ​:njtrans_logo:​ River line ✅ is a lot more charming than I expected - it really does feel like a European interurban then a light rail. Really a great line. Maybe give the annoying bit between the Camden terminus and Broadway a miss - it’s really just quite annoying.

Interestingly, the line uses old, wide Stadler GTW 2/6 DMUs that have a Bombardier plaque inside of them (?), and the line is now operated by Alstom, formally Bombardier?

@maeow I wonder if they got a refurb by Bombardier at some point. I just think of the old EMD units that have Morrison-Knudsen or MotivePower data plates put on them in place of the originals after they're rebuilt and repowered

It makes a lot of sense there because like with EMD F40PH's they come back F40PH-2C if it has a Caterpillar HEP generator installed where the original line-shaft one was, and the weight's different now
