According to Amtrak's Long Distance Train Facts, "Most passengers on long-distance trains ride to or from stations along the route, and not between the major cities that serve as route endpoints.  For example, in fiscal year 2010 less than ten per cent of the 342,000 passengers on the Chicago to Los Angeles Southwest Chief rode from end to end.  Over 90 per cent of the passengers boarded and/or detrained at the 31 intermediate stops along the 2,265 miles of track, many in small towns" According to the same source, in 2010 the typical long distance train passenger rode for more than 600 miles, although Amtrak does not say how much more than 600 miles.  According to the company the typical sleeping car passenger rides for roughly 1,000 miles.   According to another source that I read a year or so ago, although I don't remember it, only four per cent of the passengers on the California Zephyr ride from end point to end point.
