I think this is awesome news for all the towns along this route. It will bring more people back into these towns, lower traffic for commuters to philly, lower air pollution, and is cost effective because the rail lines which carried commuter trains up until 1971 are already there. I'm hopeful that it doesn't get shot down again like it did in 1996 :( I would love to be able to hop a little train and go from Woodbury to Glassboro or to Philly much much more quickly and easily than the bus system currently allows for.
