I'd be willing to bet they're excluding the WOH runs, but are including things like commuters who get off at White Plains and Stamford. If that's the case and we say that just 75% of those trips are to and from GCT then that's 187,500 passengers per day. While less than the record Thanksgiving Day in 1945, that's about equal to the wartime daily load, and far more than the prewar records. And as I said, unlike the LD traffic which made up a significant minority of the Central's business, and came and went throughout the day, Metro North is only hauling commuters and they do so with extreme peak hour loads. |
