The only one I can think of is Capitol Corridor, where it might reverse at the Oakland Coliseum station. Theres also the commute time service to Roseville.
Yes, that's why I qualified my statement.NFL is open for one Empire Service departure on Sundays only Train #288 which leaves at 2:59pm (train #280 which leaves at 3:52am doesn't operate on Sundays.
Well - I'm thinking endpoints typically are the main destinations with bigger ridership. Not always the case. I can't really imagine that Amtrak would have moved a major route like the California Zephyr to a route that starts/ends at an unstaffed station. Part of the deal is many people who might insist of beginning at the endpoint.Yes, that's why I qualified my statement.NFL is open for one Empire Service departure on Sundays only Train #288 which leaves at 2:59pm (train #280 which leaves at 3:52am doesn't operate on Sundays.
However, to the OP's original question...is there any particular significance for a route to start or end at an unstaffed station? I don't care for the trend toward unstaffing stations, but I don't see anything more or less onerous about an endpoint station being unstaffed rather than a midpoint station.
Every LD train starts and ends at a staffed station. So the applicable trains are really just a smattering of corridor or state-supported trains.I would think that there should be some kind of staffing at the endpoints, to provide certain services at least for the train crews? Not sure....where do train crews get up to date manifests, train order's, etc...?
