   As far as I understand it, ACSES is in force from Washington DC New York   
   Ave. (Avenue interlocking) to Philadelphia (Phil interlocking)   
   inclusive, and Philadelphia (Girard interlocking (Zoo)) to New York Penn   
   Station (A interlocking) inclusive. That leaves very little that is not   
   under ACSES. In these sections all main line and controlled sidings are   
   now governed by ACSES.   
      
   Specifically, Shore interlocking and curve (Frankford) is in the Philly   
   to New York section.
