ACES PR Materials?

[No.6]

Now, I realize that this service was shuttered in 2012, but I remember that while it operated it had a /gleaming/ website. Some of the best passenger train marketing I've seen in the modern era of American railroading. Obviously, now, none of it is accessible online, but if I remember correctly, there were a few PDF documents available on the website (one in particular being a very clever riff on an airline safety trifold one would find in a seat pocket). Did anyone happen to save these files while they were still online? I'm aware this is a veeery long shot, but I had to ask. After a casual browse through the forum on past ACES train conversations, I was not able to find any such materials. I'm positive that they'd be of general interest to those on the forum.

You can see the old website here. The flash doesn't seem to be working for me however...

You can get to the rest of the website here: http://web.archive.org/web/20120308060521/http://www.acestrain.com/train.php

The "home" button will take you to the flash landing page which as I said doesn't work for me.

I don't know that I ever saw that knock on the airline safety cards on the ACES site.

However, when member Longtrainrunning & I took a trip on ACES a few years ago, Stephen with some help from me wrote a trip report about it for OTOL. I took a picture, not a great one, and transcribed what that card said at the bottom of the trip report. You can find that trip report by clicking here.
