Transit Board of Directors approving funds for the project’s final design. The project will introduce FRA-compliant Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) technology into the N.J. Transit fleet of rail equipment and will provide new passenger service along more than eight miles of existing freight track. “I am pleased to see steady progress in this project, which will provide new and efficient travel options to the residents who live along this corridor,” said
