Not to bad, but the Sunset Limited hit rock bottom again. The Auto Train, Silver Service, and Carolinian got hit pretty bad as well. Aslo, the Northeast Corridor has not been living up well with OTP for Regionals, Expresses, and Metroliners all under 80%.

On a good note the City of New Orleans came in over 90% and Hiawatha alsmot hit 100%!

Hi there--

Sorry for the newbie question, but what do the specific columns mean? I assume the first is total trains, the second, total late trains, third the on-time percentage. What is the fourth column?

Also, 680 Acela trains a month works out to just 21 a day--doesn't this seem low? And finally, how late can "on time" be?

Thanks,

Robb

Not a problem. Usually the column headings get posted too... perhaps Amfleet can edit it. In any case, the first column is total trains operated, second is number of those trains which ran late, third is actual on time percentage, and fourth is Amtrak's goal for on time percentage on that route.
