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. Moreover, no consideration is given to the impact of late departures from origin points impacting subsuquent late arrivals at destination, or for any time advanced during the run. Again, calculations refer solely to arrival at final terminal.

(Data apply only 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.
