Coast Starlight ridership jumps 19.3% in January

Ridership and revenue information for January is now available.

I am absolutely astounded at the ridership and revenue gains for the Coast Starlight and am at a loss to explain them. There wasn't a disruption last January that would explain it and in fact the Starlight had gain of 7.6% in ridership last January, though with a 2.2% drop in revenue.
