Notes:

2001 Service for trains 760, 761, 762, 763 was disrupted due to mudslides.
The Bellingham service started on 9/2/99, As a result, monthly ridership for individual trains and comparisons to previous levels must be interpreted with the following in mind:
- Train 763 was train 761 prior to 9/2/99 and compares with old 761 ridership numbers.
- Train 761 1999 totals includes old and new schedule ridership numbers.
- Train 762 1999 totals includes old and new schedule ridership numbers.
- Trains 552 & 553 are Eugene extensions for trains 752 & 753 respectively. Service started on 10/6/00.
