NOTES: 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.
Due to mudslides on 12/16/99, the trains did not operate North or South of Seattle.
Due to the lack of availability of Amtrak equipment, the number of cars used for the holiday weekend was reduced from 10 (used in 1998) to 7; thus reducing capacity.
