I thought there was scheduled track work being done also but the announcement this morning while standing on the platform said mechanical problems.

I was at Princeton Junction last night and noticed that the Dinky was out of service. They really didn't have much notice out last night, just their normal sandwich board on the platform for the Dinky saying buses are substituting the dinky. There wasn't anything on the NJ Transit website. The announcement posted in the station windows state that the Dinky is out of service just during the midday as they work on overhead power lines, track and other components of the line.... basically everything.

It looks like those problems were fixed now. This is a pretty useful service

I saved the page and edited it such that it works without manipulation.
Short Hills is 'RT'.
I tried to attach it to this post, but it didn't work. What filetypes are allowed?

Wonder what's so sacred about SH?

Almost got bitten by relying on this last night. The 7:55 to Raritan (listed on DV anyway) actually departs at 7:54. I was lucky I arrived a little early.

On the Princeton Junction DV Amtrak 138 to New York Penn is shown as arriving/departing on Track 2. Any ideas why?
Ryanov: I believe it has been mentioned elsewhere in this forum that the ETT for NYP is one minute later than the public timetable. I haven't bothered to check too many specific trains on DV but I think it may be using the ETT database and not the public TT database.

This was for Newark though (perhaps one day Raritan trains will leave from NY, but not yet!) I don't think that applies in Newark, does it? It did leave at 7:55 though...

If you're cutting it so close that 1 minutes make a difference, you may want to arrive earlier 
by ryanov
Doesn't take more than a minute or two to make an ATM stop, but I shall be sure to check the boards in the station going forward, not the imaginary boards on the internets.

I parsed out all the station codes and put together a webpage with all the DV stops listed.

It's in alphabetical order of the 2 letter Station ID. Have fun!
