My opinion: This dog won’t hunt. What Amtrak should offer is the going rate for time on the line.

The filing uses both 2019 data and hypothetical information to show how these calculations would work. In an example using the City of New Orleans — an all-CN route where the railroad earned an average of $518,996 per quarter in incentives in 2019 — a quarter in which the train hit 85% customer on-time performance with 600 minutes of host-railroad delays would earn incentives of $512,301.18. One which on-time performance was 75% and CN-caused delays totaled 950 minutes would result in a penalty of $157,227.98.
