Small single vehicle (sometimes coupled) running in the suburbs of Philadelphia, with a 3rd rail, and a unique design. What kind of train is this?

The Norristown High Speed Line (NHSL), also called the Purple Line, the P&W, or Route 100, is a 13.4-mile (21.6 km) interurban light rapid transit line operated by SEPTA, running between the 69th Street Transportation Center in Upper Darby and the Norristown Transportation Center in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Originally the Philadelphia and Western Railroad line (which is why the line is referred to by locals as "the P&W"), the line runs entirely on its own right-of-way. By 2020, the Norristown High Speed Line had an average weekday ridership approaching 11,000 passengers ~Wikipedia
