Got 4 if being within 14 miles counts for #10. Five if being within 5 trucks of the max of #13 is close enough.

Would have had 5 but I changed my answer from the correct one (Vancouver, WA) to Sandpoint, ID on a foolish whim.
Almost had #3 as well but I guessed 29 cars on VIA as opposed to 34 on Rocky Mountaineer....trick question, right?

I was surprised by question #5. With the Cascades, Sounder, Empire Builder, Coast Starlight, and freight RR's I thought it would be Seattle as the busiest junction, not Vancouver, WA.

Be aware though that the Cascades, Coast Starlight, and Portland section of the Empire Builder do pass through Vancouver, WA. You were certainly on the right track.

I got 5 right, of the posted answers. However, I also had the correct answer for #16. The posted answer was WRONG! The record previously held on the TGV Atlantique in 1990 was broken by another TGV on the LGV Est on April 3, 2007.
