a Includes all Amtrak Northeast
Corridor and Empire Service (New York State) trains.
b
Includes all delays when operating on Amtrak-owned tracks and delays for
equipment or engine failure, passenger handling, holding for connections,
train servicing, and mail/baggage handling when on tracks of a host railroad. c Includes all operating delays not attributable to Amtrak
when operating on tracks of a host railroad (e.g., track- and signal-related
delays, power failures, freight and commuter train interference, routing
delays). d Includes delays not attributable to Amtrak or host railroads
(e.g., customs and immigration, law enforcement action, weather, or waiting
for scheduled departure time). e Numbers may not add
to totals due to rounding.
Notes: All percentages are based on Amtrak's fiscal year (Oct.
1-Sept. 30). Host railroad is a freight or commuter railroad over which many
Amtrak trains operate for all or part of their trips.
Amtrak trips are considered delayed based on the following
chart:
The ranges of short and long distance operating miles are
changed in this report. Short distance equals <=400 miles, and long
distance equals > 400 miles
