Estimated Arrival Times

[JayMadison]

I was curious, someone in the forums mentioned their was a site where you could see the estimated arrival times over the last few day or month or something like that. Do you folks know where this information is available?

IIRC it's something like Amtrakdelays.com. Although I'm not sure.

There are 2 useful sites for current train status and history of the actual schedule performance.
One is Amtrak Status Maps which shows the last reported stop of all Amtrak trains in a region. The website has a Train Status Archives which has the trip history of all Amtrak trains in the database going back a while. The data provided by the Status Maps site allows you to examine a one train at a time, either one underway or in the archive. The person who built and maintains the Status Maps website is a regular poster on this forum. I'm posting an example below of the output for a really late #49 (8/04) that arrived at CHI today. A quick check indicates that it a was bad day for multiple trains across upper NY state between Schenectady and Buffalo on CSX.

The site that shows the arrival times of a train at a specific stop over up to the past 4 weeks is Amtrak Train Status History. It may not show all days as there may be gaps in the database.

I recommend that you bookmark the links.

That one is good since it provides data graphically also but if nobody has requested the particular station/train combo in the last 4 weeks, then there is no data. Data is only gathered when someone has requested that info - then it gather's a week's worth of previous data.
