Hi Graham, I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. I wish i could say we have trams in my town but we dont so have a great time and take lots of pictures. Your coming at a great time for color and tempatures. The weather should be great. Dont forget we drive on the wrong side of the road when your out and about. hahaha Reva from middle America

New Jersey you will find the NJ Transit "Hoboken - Bergen" light rail,
this has 3 lines (2 out of Hoboken rail terminal) and operate a fleet of
Kinkisharyo articulated units runin single or double sets.

A little further out in Trenton (NJ Transit train from Newark will get
you there) is NJ Transits "River Line" using "Bombardier" built diesel
powered lightrail units, these are worth a visit.

For info on the NJ Transit Lightrail systems here are some links,

Hope this is of help.
