Trick Question

Bolded shows passenger count assuming the first "Timber" isn't a person. Give that it's capitalized the first time, but not the second time, is quite suspicious. I wont ruin it further so here's a funny answer:

There's a couple joining the mile-high club?

Edit: There's also something you should pay attention to in the first sentence... How many people are initially on the train? Think about the wording.

I did consider the wording, but you forgot at the last stop 69 passengers including the conductor, meaning the conductor was an additional variable to the puzzle, left the station at the end of the trip. Leaving 1 person, and the identity of that 1 person is the answer to this riddle.

This is fun by the way. Let's see how long it takes before someone gives the most obvious answer.
