ACES Atlantic City Casino Rail Service

Its still lame, $29. Still avoids Trenton , which could get a significant amount of more people on. Oh well hope it survives till next season.

On my commute this morning I read over someone's shoulder in the Trentonian "Atlantic City revenue down 1.7%", or maybe it said 7.1%.
Let's please try to remember that ACES probably lives or dies based on Atlantic City's fortunes.

I saw a westbound ACES move today at Metropark. I did not catch the numbers, so I'll hazard a guess it was the same trainset.

Sooner or later Atlantic City will have to relocate to India or China where all of our decent paying jobs have gone!

Although 3 years removed, it lists Train/Bus availabilty second to the bottom in terms of importance.

Good shot, Frank; hope you don't mind I fixed the link?

I'll tell you what. We'll have ACES II stop at Trenton after it comes down the NEC Bypass.

First ACES train of 2011: train 7163 with 4800 and 4409.
after arrival in Atlantic City

Glad to see the 4409 back alive and under wire and in revenue service - thats one of the best '44s for undisclosed reasons HAHAHAHA Lets just say its a treat to run

Couldn't they repaint or wrap the remaining 44's to make them look better?

Why would they do that its a waste of money, maybe if they where going to keep them they could overhaul those 3.

Sunday ACES train 7182 with 4800 and 4409
train 7184 with 4803 and 4405
