[quote user="rfpjohn"] Sounds like a nice trip. How was the ridership? [/quote] The load factor in the business car appeared to be between 70 and 80 per cent.  A substantial number of people were going to Western Pennsylvania (Latrobe, Greensburg,  Pittsburgh).  They had just returned from a cruise. West of Harrisburg the load factor appeared to drop to 40 to 50 per cent. In FY13 the average load factor on the Pennsylvanian was 64.7 per cent. I saw only three people get off in Altoona.  As noted I grew-up in Altoona. During my last year in high school (1957) there were 38 passenger train movements a day through Altoona. As I remember it hundreds of people from or near Altoona rode the trains daily. Now there is 1 or 2 depending on whether you count the Pennsylvanian as one train or as one west and one east.
