Only 91% of the full complement of trains was reviewed in this period due to cancellations caused by programmed trackwork, flooding and storm damage, and various operational incidents primarily on the routes of the City of New Orleans, Boston section of the Lake Shore Limited, and the KCY Corridor.
The only services which showed improvement in both measured categories were the westbound Capitol Limited and both directions of the KCY Corridor.
Of the 111 trains that were more than 2' late: the Capitol Limited accounted for 23, the Texas Eagle on the STL Corridor for 20, the Lake
Shore Limited for 16, and the Crescent for 13.
Services which contributed the most to the total delay minutes in this period were the DET Corridor for 19%, the STL and BUF Corridors for 17% each, and the Lake Shore and Capitol Limiteds for 12% each.
The service performance continues to deteriorate which is apparently the intent of the senior management given the absence of visible effort at corrective action. We should not expect any improvement in the near future.
