I wish 19 and 20 were like that.  

The 30 minutes early value surprised me, too.  In fact, for the past 60 days it arrived an average of 38 minutes early, and 42 minutes early (median value). I never would have guessed that.

Amtrak has posted the Midwest service 2018 Thanksgiving Holiday timetables - nothing yet for NEC/Keystone or other areas.

Didn't know this was published - thanks for posting it! Maybe Amtrak will eventually realize that open-source data can be a boon to their business.

448 is tracking now - thanks for pointing that out. (I didn't fix it, but a little birdy I know at Amtrak must have.)

Sadly, no...if there is a 'next time' I'll give more notice for those in the local area. Sorry about that.

Glad to hear there is some interest! I can ask about recording, but I know the local group really tries to encourage live participation.

It might not be trivial but I think we can get it working again. Just need some time and maybe a little luck.

My fault for not posting this earlier...but if you are in the DC area and interested in coding and visualizing data about Amtrak, transit or other rail, come to the Transportation Techies Meetup Thursday August 30! It is being held from 6pm to 9pm near Washington Union Station. We'll be...

Is the RPA (and others) adequately calling out this lie? Amtrak spreading these falsehoods is not good, obviously. It's clear they don't want to fight very hard (if at all) to make the current or even an alternate routing work.

It's a positive step, for sure. Guess we'll see what happens in the House and then the final reconciliation.

I didn't look at all of them, but for #98 arriving at NYP Jan 1-July 31 of this year the average AR delay is 1 hour and 13 minutes late, median 42 minutes late. For the same period in 2017 it was 57 minutes and 29 minutes late, respectively. So yeah, it's worse this year.

Here are some charts from ASMAD - arrivals on 91/97 at MIA and 92/98 at NYP. Northbound Meteor (98) seems to have a slight upward trend since the spring.

Hi, the source data stopped working yesterday, and Amtrak's own train tracker is also down. It is something they will have to fix.

I am so saddened to hear this news about Alan. We exchanged several PMs on AU and he was always so helpful and considerate to my questions. I was in NYC a few days ago and as the train left Penn Station I was thinking about all the info Alan shared with me about Amtrak and other NYC trains...

Two years ago we were 6 hours late into LAX. Amtrak put us on the bus to Bakersfield and then a train to Sacramento. It was fine except there is no food besides a vending machine in Bakersfield. The cafe car on the train to Sacramento was good, though.

I have to agree with you, the default Amtrak position is clearly "no can do" rather than "this is what we need" in order to save this route. Amtrak is in the business of running trains, right? Or only the trains they want? I booked a trip in July to ride #4 LAX > CHI before it and/or the...

I hate to panic over rumors, but that would really stink. Me and hubby are supposed to take the SW Chief in February CHI>LAX. A bus bridge and elimination of traditional dining service really makes the cost of the tickets we bought much less desirable. RPA/NARP, I hope you can rescue us!

The data feed from Amtrak was not updating from Monday around 8:30 AM to today around 7:45 AM. It kept providing the same data. I don't know why it didn't update and why it took Amtrak so long to fix it. It may not be monitored robustly on their side. Or, maybe it was a severe problem. Who...

The Amtrak Status Maps site is updating since it uses different source data.
