[quote user="blue streak 1"] July Amtrak performance report had ridership from 3.8K to 4.1K  = +9%.  But revenue up 21.5% which indicates more passengers are traveling longer distances on this route in contrast to the overall Amtrak stats. [/quote] The numbers for FY13 through July are not so rosy.  Ridership is up a scant .9 per cent, and revenues are up 5.0 per cent.  Because of a low statistical base compared to the other trains in this category, any movement in the Hooser State numbers is likely to magnified. Amtrak's load factors tend to be higher during the summer months.  The average system load factor was 58.2 per cent for July 2013, but only 52.2 per cent for the year to date.  This trend probably will be reflected in the Hooser State numbers for the year.  This is one of the reasons that I only pay attention to twelve month numbers and preferably over a period of three to five years.  Numbers can jump in one month only to decline equally or more so in the next month.
