   Between Philadelphia and New York. AFAIK ACSES is operative definitely   
   on tracks 2 and 3 between Trenton and New Brunswick in NJ. Additional   
   segments may have been brought into operation as Amtrak is doing so to   
   meet the end of 2015 deadline for operational ACSES on all main line   
   segments. I know that the necessary track hardware is installed even   
   through Frankford Jct., but ACSES has other components that need to be   
   in place and operational before it can be placed into service, like the   
   digital radio link to the control center.
