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.' Trains must arrive on time, or earlier, to be considered 'on time.' The Bull Sheet considers that long-distance Amtrak trains have sufficient padding in their schedule to offset routine en route delays, and it is not necessary to apply a grace allowance on top of that padding in an effort to bolster on-time reporting. Accordingly, these reports offer a more realistic analysis than what is routinely reported by Amtrak.

Data apply solely to final destination, not to intermediate points. They do not adjust for any time gained en route if the train left the originating station late, and no additional credit is given for trains that arrive at their final destination ahead of schedule, rather than simply 'on time.'

Runs that are canceled, truncated, terminated en route, or reported with missing, incomplete or ambiguous data are excluded from the survey.
