Just probing the waters out here ... But i am wondering if anyone has thought up or planned an excursion with the ACES line.

PHL to ACY via NJT Atlantic City Line
ACE to NYP via NJY ACES
NYP to PHL via Amtrak or NJT+SEPTA

(I know this would be more fitting on the NJT Forum, but I am in Philly and know every now and then ya all do daytrips)

That's how I rode the first ACES train.
PATCO Collingswood to Lindenwold
NJT ACL Lindenwold to ACY
ACES train 7162 ACE to NYP
NJT NEC NYP to TRE
NJT River LINE TRE to Camden
PATCO Canden to Collingswood

Since I am north of the city but in Pennsylvania and would want to ride it round trip:

Preferred possibility - less driving on my part, with free parking:

SEPTA R7 from Cornwells Heights (free parking) to Trenton
NJT Northeast Corridor line from Trenton to Penn Station
ACES to Atlantic City

Same in reverse.

Alternate possibility with fewer delays but more driving on my part and a higher parking cost than at SEPTA stations out my way that charge to park:

NJT Northeast Corridor line from Hamilton (high-priced parking) to Penn Station
ACES to Atlantic City

Same in reverse.
