Amtrak’s On-Time Record

Amtrak has a reputation for always being late, and this is backed-up by actual evidence. Yet, so far on this trip, only one of my trains has been late. My train from Chicago to Denver got stuck behind some BNSF trains in Nebraska, and we were about an hour late arriving in Denver. However, Denver had just had a huge snowstorm, and everything was running late, so I didn’t miss my connecting bus to Colorado Springs. My train from Denver to Emeryville was actually about 30 minutes early. I’m very curious to know if this reputation of Amtrak’s holds true for me.
