U.S. Passenger Rail Ridership (2013)

And, about that: why does Brookings list a 611MM deficit "on routes traveling over 400 miles"? That conveniently excludes a number of non-profitable routes, including the Surfliner.

I think that threshold was chosen because every route longer than 400 miles is losing money. The longest route with an operating profit is 381 miles.
