[quote user="CG9602"]All in all very informative, but I remind the members of the forum that profitability or loss of passenger trains is measured in terms of Revenue Passenger Miles, or passenger-miles per train-mile, and not on a per-passenger basis. Sam, would you be able to re-work those numbers and express them in terms of revenue passenger miles, please ?[/quote] The loss per passenger is a function of the loss per passenger mile times the miles from LAX to New Orleans.  The numbers are taken from Amtrak's FY 2007 report.  The FY 2008 numbers are likely to be different, but at the end of the day, based on the numbers through August 2008, the loss per passenger mile and passenger is likely to be equal to or slightly above those reported for 2007.
