Hi All. I've been to the US many times on work/vacation, but I've just done my first trip to the US whilst making an effort to have a reasonable amount of time to go watch things on rails. I've had look through here and can't find any pics of the ACE SC-44s, so I thought I'd share one from my...

Thanks to all for the information. The SWC was ridden a few days ago. All went well apart from a 2-hour later arrival into Flagstaff causing a few taxi to the hotel availability issues. Food was pretty decent and the onboard service from the crew was good. Only downside was the constant horns...
