Alf - I'm not sure that your comment is correct. ACE runs on tracks that the Sacramento connection of the SP San Joaquin Daylight ran and on the WP where the California Zephyr ran. Amtrak was operating Caltrain but lost the contract to Herzog. So there is definately holes in Amtraks exclusive operating agreement.
