[edit] Really the third busiest line?
This article conflicts with the Pacific Surfliner article in its first paragraph because it claims the Capitol Corridor is the third-busiest Amtrak route after the Northeast Corridor and the Pacific Surfliner.
However, the Pacific Surfliner article claims in its lead paragraph that it, also, is the third busiest route, behind the Northeast Corridor and the Keystone Service.
I'll try to do some research to find out the true ranking, and then I reckon I'll try my first significant edit as a Wikipedian. :-)
Anyway, this is also me trying out the talk page. Hope everyone is well! Comodude 01:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think Capitol Corridor is the third busiest Amtrak route, because I found one article said that the Keystone service had a ridership of 1,068,572 in FY2005 [1] and Capitol Corridor had the ridership of 1,260,249 in the same fiscal year [2]. So we can safely and correctly say that the Capitol Corridor is the third busiest Amtrak route. --Will74205 08:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- I looked at Amtrak's January 2006 report [3] on page 26 and confirmed that Pacific Surfliner is indeed number two and the Capitol Corridor is number three, so I'll make an edit on the Pacific Surfliner page with a correction. - Comodude 03:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Length?
I have a schedule right in front of me that says the length of th eline is only 170 miles, not the longer distance stated in the article. That seems more reasonable for San Jose to Auburn anyway--does anyone know the reason for the discrepancy? -- SCZenz 20:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- I believe it is from Sparks, NV to San Jose, CA, as listed on the simplified Amtrak schedule on Amtrak's website. Should we just list the length between the stations that have regular train services? --Will74205 21:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
