According to what I'm looking at, it's 8th busiest on the NEC in general.
For Acela service specifically, it looks like it ranks
#12 out of
#16 , between Stamford and New Haven.
I didn't realize the point several folks have made about accessibility for the suburbs (I thought it was for airport only), but I still think they should stick to just Northeast Regional service, not Acela. Seems like all the Acelas are stopping there these days, though there aren't that many to begin with.
