Reply to comment by Diet_Coke in Amtrak Ridership Up through Richmond by pizzatongs

it doesn't look right to me either. could it mean people who rode just from Richmond to DC. it's probably 46,300

Maybe 146,300 or 246,300 or 463,000 - just comparing it to the other routes, both numbers look way low. I've gotten on the Amtrak to go RIC - DC several times and the train is usually pretty empty when I get on so I would be surprised if there's more ridership from Newport News or Lynchburg/Roanoke to DC than Richmond to DC. In context the 93,298 number looks funny too.
