Great video and action! As for the Sounder, wow ridership demand on the North line must be increasing. I thought all trains always only ran with three cars. With a fourth car on this train. That means ridership is increasing. The ridership was quite low a while back and still is but increasing. 1101 people last year on average. This year with a fourth car on every train by the end of the year. Means likely the ridership is at least 1800, wow! BTW, nice K5LA on the Amtrak Cascades NPCU!

Thanks for the nice words Daniel. Actually the extra coach on the last sounder is for the Mariners special they run on the weekends. But the ridership is going up too.

@Fiddleman200616 No problem. Oh, that's why. Didn't know there was a Mariners special, sorry. Im glad Sounder runs trains to the sports teams games! Geez, that's pretty good, four cars considering the daily commuting ridership is only not far above 1100 people. Yet, i actually checked. For special events, the average ridership is 2398! Wow, im surprised that people suddenly become smart when it comes to travel when going to events. Wow! That's good ridership is going up too!
