Where do you check to see if trains are running on time?

IIRC there was also a thread that contained a link to a page giving train arrival times for a certain period of time. Does it still exist?

Thanks. Will check it tomorrow.

Unrelated to the topic at hand, an observation- just now when I checked that map, every single train is showing in green suggesting they all are running on time or almost on time. Feels good to see such a good day on Amtrak's western LD network

There's also this little-known feature on Amtrak's website where you can check the status of a given train. It's secretly hidden behind the "status" link on the home page.

Yeah, I noticed that on the map as well. I was especially surprised to see that #50, the Cardinal, was running very early through the Northeast Corridor and arrived into New York at 8:46pm, 1 hour and 10 minutes early!!

Yes, but status only tells you current status, while Amtrak Status Maps gives you the whole picture. I only use Amtrak status for projected arrival time.

Not many freight trains operate on Christmas so Amtrak usually has complete right-of-way.
