ABOUT THESE REPORTS:
The Bull Sheet calculates arrival
performance at final destination of Amtrak's named long-distance trains.
The data are based upon the reported arrival times of each of the affected
trains, and there is no grace allowance for minimal lateness. If a train
arrives at its final destination behind schedule, even by a minute, it
is considered 'late.' The Bull Sheet considers that long-distance trains
have sufficient padding in their schedule to offset typical en route delays,
and it is not necessary to apply a grace allowance on top of that padding
to bolster on time reporting. Accordingly, these reports generally represent
a more accurate analysis than what is reported by Amtrak. Data only apply
to arrival at final destination, not to intermediate stations. Trains arriving
ahead of schedule are simply calculated as arriving 'on time.'
