The Dinky is a short line train service, just under 3 miles, that connects Princeton, New Jersey, home of Princeton University, to the Princeton Junction station on the New Jersey Transit system's Northeast Corridor service.

Princeton University wants to build an arts complex and they intend to demolish the Princeton Junction train station and construct a parking garage where the station is currently located,. They would shorten the track and create a new station to the south.
