Is probably the easiest tool to dig through.

Amtrak does publish quite a bit about its ridership especially on state supported routes.

Thanks -- very interesting website!
Apparently there must be 1 Acela train a day that stops in Trenton? Just under 10,000 Acela passengers annually board or disembark in Trenton.
I was struck by the fact that WAS-NYP is 225 miles, while NYP-BOS is 231 miles, only 6 miles longer, but the NYP-BOS route can take an hour longer! All those curves along the coast must really slow it down.
