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 orignating station late, and no additional credit is given for trains that arrive at their destination ahead of schedule.

Trains that are truncated, annulled, terminated en route, or reported with incomplete or ambiguous data are excluded from the survey.
