That really nice shot of a seven car Sounder train in trains news on the BNSF, prompted me to ask, is there a sounder web page with ridership data by year and month, and do you have that link? Could you post it? What configuration of equipment sets do they run (5 car/7car/some combination?)?

I am always a data hound on these things, it's interesting to compare systems, with inputs like service levels, seat capacity, schedule, or other operating characteristics, and resulting things like ridership, capacity utilization, passengers per train mile or seat mile, boarding per station, etc..
