Amtrak Timeliness Records

Hello everyone,

Does anybody have a clue where I can find information about Amtrak’s on-time / lateness record for the last few months? I hear lots of people saying the trains are always late, but I haven’t been able to find the “proof”, so to speak.

I am currently particularly interested in the Cardinal, especially eastbound, but information about any routes would be useful.

Thanks,

AmtrakRider

Amtrak publishes detailed delay reports in their monthly performance reports. Go to http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/am2Copy/Title_Image_Copy_Page&c=am2Copy&cid=1081442674477&ssid=238 and scroll down to the monthly reports. The March '07 report has the delay info in section E of the report.

Thanks, everyone, for your responses. I’m finding all these sites interesting reading . . .

It varies from train to train and sometimes specific reasons (like repairs to the line) cause lateness. It can be difficult to predict.
