There are a few other diesel systems like this around the US including the Denton A Train in suburban Dallas, TX, the Sprinter in suburban San Diego, CA, and the Red Line operated by Capital Metro in Austin, TX .
@@Jayayess1190 Thank You and just as you was mentioning that to me, I completely forgot about TriMet's system although it's more of a Commuter Rail Service. I'm laughing because those are the editions of Dream Fleet that I'm working on.
I have ridden the RiverLine quite a few times. Once, it was fairly exciting. The train (We don't call them trams in NJ) ahead of us broke down. My train had to push it to the maintenance yard (Just outside of Camden) The driver got on the PA and explained what was happening. Then he said "Brace for Impact" It was just a tiny bump, but it was kinda cool! The ride was then very slow because the other train was completely without power.
Very nice! It's still hard to imagine that an area in the United States has a Diesel Light Rail.

@@Jayayess1190 I'd say those systems in practice are more like regional rail than light rail due to lower frequencies and larger train cars.

Nice...didn't realize NJT operated light rail in that area.
It runs between Camden and Trenton along the Delaware river. It is scenic in some parts.
