I doubt that can be documented as the slang term isn’t going to show up on 
company documents.

The term has been applied to short or small trains since at least the 1940s or 
earlier. I talked with people in the early 1970s that referred to the Rockford 
motor car on the C&I 
that was abolished in the late 40’s as “the dinky”. 

When I went to work in ‘73 the term “dinky parade” was standard among crews to 
refer to being held out for rush hours. 

I suspect it goes way,way back.
