PRINCETON — The NJ Transit Dinky train service in Princeton resumed late Saturday after a temporary outage due to mechanical problems, NJ Transit officials said Sunday.

While the mechanical issue and its cause remain unclear, officials said the service started around 6 p.m. Saturday, roughly 36 hours after the service was suspended.

During the closure, shuttle buses ran between Princeton and the Princeton Junction station in West Windsor.
