Previously, Amtrak operated 8 weekday round trips on the line, and 6~7 weekend round trips. Annual ridership in 2016 was just over 270,000, which works out to about 743 per day.
That project won't get any smaller if delayed--meanwhile more people crowd on to inconveniently scheduled trains which will eventually be too long for their platforms!

Oh no, we're doing both! Also we're electrifying and buying a big fleet of EMUs. Almost every station will accomodate 8-car EMUs now, and will eventually be rebuilt to 12-car length by the time we get up to 12tph in a couple decades.

Fantastic!
