Less than a full complement of trains was reviewed in this period due primarily to programmed trackwork on the STL Corridor.
Services which showed improvement in both measured categories include:
westbound Boston section of the Lake Shore Limited and the BUF and KCY Corridors;
northbound Crescent;
eastbound Lake Shore Limited; and
both directions of the Pennsylvanian.
Of the 78 trains which were more than 2' late: the Capitol Limited accounted for 30;
the eastbound Texas Eagle (on the STL Corridor) for 16;
the Crescent for 15; and
the Lake Shore Limited for 12.
Similarly, of the total delay minutes in this period:
the STL Corridor accounted for 23%;
the Capitol Limited for 16%;
the Lake Shore Limited for 14%; and
the Crescent for 13%.
Correction of the avoidable delays on these 4 services would greatly help the overall performance of the entire review,
but there does not appear to be any evidence of such an effort.
