At least the Bee was up front about it and labeled it as the press release it is.

Ummm ... what about the FL9 as prior art?

These things are hardly revoluntionary, and the first few have even been in service for a while. Up to date and computerized, perhaps. More power on diesel and electric than the older stuff, perhaps. Running off overhead AC rather than 3rd rail DC, perhaps (which means they're hauling around a big transformer whether they're using it or not). Simply new (not beat up with millions of miles on them), definitely. NOT a new invention! I'm sure they cost NJT a bundle, though.
