Here's an ASMAD update thanks to an idea from JB at http://statusmaps.com I've updated my search page that will display the total number of trains scheduled to run over a range of dates. The results presentation will now optionally break out the number of scheduled trains by route name. This...

ASMAD is a database of Amtrak on time performance, and it has a connecting trains query that will show missed connections. For example, searching arriving train 49 (Lake Shore) connecting to train 7 (Empire Builder) at Chicago shows no missed connections since Oct 30 (they would show up in...

I am not great at reading the Federal Register, but it seems like the final rule for OTP has been established and goes into effect next month. SUMMARY: This final rule establishes metrics and minimum standards for measuring the performance and service quality of intercity passenger train...

I looked into this, too, and it's a challenge. I made some coding progress but it wasn't really clear it would work reliably so I had to put it down for now. The Amtrak website essentially does a very effective job of blocking automated queries.

I speculate that Amtrak would just combine trains at that point...but I don't know the answer offhand.

Good point about the origin station already having a delay in the reply I posted earlier....I missed that. It looks like this is the winner for the train departing on-time having the biggest delay: History for Amtrak 1 originating 02/06/2012 (Mo) * THIS TRAIN EXPERIENCED A SERVICE...

According to ASMAD the latest train in the Amtrak Status Maps records is #8 that departed Seattle on March 17, 2017 (we have data back to 2006). At Williston, ND (WTN) #8 was 40 hours and 29 minutes late, but ended up arriving into Chicago just 39 hours late. So there is still recovery time...

And my archive records are JB's records. :)

Regarding the timetables, I see what they did. Even though Train Schedules & Timetables | Amtrak has the timetables listed they all go to a temporary page. I keep an archive of them at Amtrak Timetable Archives - Home so you can always browse them there. They are current as of the last...

Yes, I see 7/8 are back. Although they are both missing their final destination.....unless they aren't running all the way to SEA or CHI. :)

I don't retrieve the data for the maps - I just know it is 2 different sources and the source with the GPS data is not showing 7/8.

But 7/8 are still showing up on the map at Amtrak Status Maps - West

The author of NA Intercity Rail Tools noticed that problem, too. He believes it's because 7 and 8 have added MKA and SVT to make up for the Hiawatha cutbacks. So a bug on Amtrak's side. I emailed them last week but just got a generic response.

I maintain an archive of Amtrak timetables back to 2009. They are at Amtrak Timetable Archives - Home If you search "amtrak timetables archives" in Google or Bing, etc. it usually shows up near the top of the results.

I think the estimated time is better, too. PRR60, I didn't know Acela dropped "Express". Thanks for that tidbit.

I also see it working again using Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. I couldn't get it to work in Firefox, either.

Here ya go....about 1 hr, 45 min late on average since May 1st. https://juckins.net/amtrak_status/archive/html/historychart.php?train_num=92&station=nyp&date_start=05/01/2019&date_end=08/10/2019&sort=d_ar&chartsize=2&smooth=0

Anderson may be well-meaning but I don't like the LD cut plans in favor of corridor service. Can you imagine trying to run a Charlotte-Atlanta-Birmingham corridor under NS? Instead of 2 trains 3 hours late you'd have a dozen. Also, unless the hosts get a massive amount of funding they won't...

In the hearing on June 26, Anderson said something about the Hoosier state and "running with extra empty cars to fix the problem". I didn't understand his answer. It was in reference from a Senator's question about "short shunting", I think. Did anyone catch that exchange and know what he...

Thanks, webarchive, and there is also a link to old National Timetables at: https://juckins.net/amtrak_timetables/archive/home.php#Amtrak_National_System_Timetables
