But the frigid weather isn't cold enough to stop the two Geeps leading train 1. And the clear winter air is perfect for - you guessed it - railfan shots, highlighting the colorful ACR scheme. ACR keeps their units in shiny mint condition, as can be seen in this photo. |

I base my thoughts on mostly data as provided in the documentation. The data includes occupied seats per trip. The poorest group, Short Distance trains, 110.7 average, NEC 159.8, Long Distance Services 210.6. But the cuts and reductions, as pointed out in the document, only followed usage on some routes, not on others. You will see which routes Amtrak favors. |
