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 since long-distance trains have sufficient padding in their schedule to offset typical en route delays, it is not necessary to apply a grace allowance on top of that padding to bolster on time reporting. Accordingly, these reports represent a more accurate analysis than what is generally reported by Amtrak.
