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.' 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 offer a more realistic analysis than what is reported by Amtrak.
The City of New Orleans is now the leader, year-to-date, with the best on-time percentage (58%), followed by Auto Train (56%) and Coast Starlight (51%). All other named long-distance trains arrived, on average, less than 50 percent on-time. The train with the lowest on-time percentage, year-to-date, is Crescent (3%). Overall, year-to-date, long-distance trains, on average, arrived at their final destination on-time 29 percent of the time.
(Trains that are truncated, annulled, terminated en route, or provided with incomplete or ambiguous data are generally excluded from the survey.)
