<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="blue streak 1"] <P>[quote user="Sam1"]Amtrak does not provide station boardings in its public reports, so it is difficult to say how many board at each station. In any case, the ratio of passengers handled by the station agents for Amtrak's long distance trains in Texas, as well as most other intermediate spots in the national system, is very low.

Check this Amtrak page -- Has figures for both 2008 and 2009.</STRONG></P> <P><A href="http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=am%2FLayout&cid=1246041980432">http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=am%2FLayout&cid=1246041980432</A></P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>I was wrong. Thanks for the insight. I'll have to calculate the station agent to passenger ratio for the Texas stations, although it will be an estimate since I don't know the exact number of employees in the staffed stations.</P>
