Note that both trains share corridors with other operations (the former with the NYP-ALB corridor; the latter with the NEC-south). Amtrak tends to treat any train on the NEC as a NEC train and lump both costs and revenues in there, and I think the treatment is the same with the NYP-ALB section (check ridership numbers, but IIRC the Ethan Allen's ridership figures are more or less just traffic going north of Albany, with traffic south of there credited to the lower Empire Corridor).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
