It's out. The final performance report for the fiscal year. Looking at revenues, Auto Train is king with 75.4 million followed closely by the EB at 72.9. Third thru sixth are CZ at 55.7, SWC at 49.1, Starlight at 47.7 and Meteor at 42.4. After that they decline into the 30's and on down to the Cardinal at only 8.6 on the bottom.
Operating profit/loss. Three trains end the year in the black, Auto Train of course is tops followed by the CONO and the Palmetto. Biggest losers are CZ at 26.8, SWC at 17.9 and Crescent at 12.1. After that you have the Sunset, Capitol, Star and LSL all in the 10-11 million range. Then in progression there is the Starlight, EB, Meteor, Cardinal and Eagle. Total operating loses are around 108 million for an 84% recovery. Actually not too bad.
By Amtrak standards after they load up everything with overhead and who knows what else, the LD trains lose 627 million. Biggest losers according to Amtrak are the CZ, SWC, Starlight and EB. The SWC by their standards loses 69 million which may explain the funny actions they are taking regarding the re-route. Note if they were to discontinue the SWC they lose 49 million in revenue and probably save less than that in avoidable costs.
Anyway, that's my read on the FY2013 numbers. Enjoy.
