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 terminal behind schedule, even by a minute, it is considered
'late.' Trains must arrive on time, or earlier, to be considered arriving
'on time.' The Bull Sheet considers that long-distance Amtrak 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 offer a more realistic
analysis than what is routinely reported by Amtrak.
Data only apply to final destination,
not to intermediate stops. Also, they do not adjust for any time gained
en route if the train left the originating station late, and no additional
credit is given for trains that arrive at their destination in advance
of schedule.
Runs that are truncated, annulled,
terminated en route, or reported with incomplete or ambiguous data are
excluded from the survey.
