[PRCo] Re: North Coast Rail News

[Herb Brannon]

I was sitting on a layover, out of service. The car was supposed to be empty
at that point.
 I just got in from my Sunday night run. The last trip left the Airport at
11:42PM and terminated at Public Square at 12:10AM. By the time I got to
West Park Station (Airport // Brookpark // West 150th // then West Park) I
had all seats filled and five or six standing. By the time I left West
Blvd/Detroit (three stations later) the train was packed all the way to
downtown. Ridership continues to get higher on all the rail lines.
