Sadly no capital charges yet, which is a real disappointment since I thought they were going to show up in this one.
Amtrak's expecting to do about a hundred million worse than last year as expenses are increasing faster than revenue. It's early in the year though, so maybe they'll get it back under control (especially if OTP improves).
Also someone needs to photoshop the Juggernaut onto an Acela train, it's honestly a bit scary how it can just keep increasing revenues no matter what. Ridership dropped 4.4%, but revenue went up 6.2% anyhow to an average fare of 96¢ per mile.
Anyone know what's with the Palmetto's sudden jump in OTP to 91.9%? That's second in the nation, not far from the Capitol Corridor.
Hilariously, if you scroll to page E-4, "Total Host-Responsible Delays by Host Railroad," Norfolk Southern actually broke the chart. They've also got some new over time charts of host responsible delays which are pretty nifty.
Selected ones:
Acela: Ridership down 4.4%, revenue up 6.2%
NERegional: Ridership up 7.7%, revenue up 11.9%
Surfliner: Ridership up 8.3%, revenue up 16.9%
Capitol Corridor: Ridership up 4.7%, revenue up 11%
San Joaquins: Ridership up 2.1%, revenue up 2.4% (breaking a bit of a drought).
Pennsylvanian: Ridership up 3.8%, revenue up 7.9%
Coast Starlight: Ridership up 0.5%, revenue down 0.3%
Palmetto: Ridership up 7.0%, revenue up 2.0%. Missed budget goals something fierce though.
