<p>Are the cars being bought because Amtrak is short of equipment for its midwest trains or because its existing equipment is outdated and needs to be replaced?</p> <p>The average load factor on the midwest trains during the first 11 months of FY12 was 45.9 per cent, which is significantly below Amtrak's average system load factor of 52.9 per cent. Only the Wolverines and KCS-St. Louis trains had an average load factor above 50 per cent.</p> <p>Some of the trains probably are periodically space constrained (holidays, vacation season(s), etc.), but the average numbers don't suggest that space availability is a major problem for Amtrak. </p>
