[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by oltmannd</i> <br /><br />I'd think a good railfan measure for freight would be road freight train starts. Trying to count locals, transfer jobs, and yard jobs is hard to do and hard to interpret. But, would a run-thru count as two trains? <br /> <br />For passenger, just count train starts. <br /> <br />If you totalled them by Metropolitan area, it would be interesting to see if NYC would edge out Chicago. Metro North, LIRR and NJT run a ton of trains..... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Actually I hadn't even thought about passenger trains (even though I like them). So then again we might need two catagories--one for freight only and another for freight and passenger. I agree with Larry (Tree), I think we need a good indept article in Trains about this.
