The Gravy Train Departs from NYC

    For all you New Yorkers out there who can’t get enough Jersey (and you know who you are), this grand thing called the railroad is about to make your life a helluva lot easier. An [express train service from New York City to Atlantic City] will be up and running late this year or early next year. The Associated Press notes that this train is just for gamblers—sorry to all you guys who were raised on the whole money-doesn’t-grow-on-trees philosophy. [The new ACES (Atlantic City Express Service) won’t be making any stops in the Garden State](http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/2007-02-19-nyc-atlantic-city-express-train_x.htm?csp=34), which will likely cut down on the number of stretch pants-wearing, bejeweled-sweatshirt-sporting, camera-toting aged folks. Eight double-decker trains, $15 million; leasing four of them, $4.5 million; your cost, pricele-er-$76 to $112 each way. But no matter, you’ll lose much more cash once you get there.(http://flickr.com/photos/anzman/)
