Thirty-nine percent of Amtrak's named long-distance trains arrived at their scheduled final destination on time or earlier in the week ending September 18, 2022... The remaining trains, on average, arrived one hour and nine minutes late.

Seventy (70) percent of the scheduled runs included in this survey operated through from origin to destination this week. The remaining trains were either truncated or did not operate at all. Only those trains that ran their full scheduled end-to-end route are calculated in this survey. (Many long-distance trains were annulled September 15-17 due to the threat of a strike.)

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 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 reported by Amtrak. (Data only apply to final destination, not to intermediate stops.)

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