Notes:

2003: Due to mudslides, train service for all trains was disrupted. All "Cascades" trains were renumbered by Amtrak effective 10/27/02.
2002: Due to mudslides, 760, 761, 762, and 763 train service was disrupted.
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 & 753 are Eugene extensions for trains 752 & 753 respectively. Service started on 10/6/00.
