Approximately 110 of the trains normally included in the review were cancelled as part of the Amtrak service reduction with an additional 22 trains not included due to programmed trackwork and other operational problems.
Services which improved in both measured categories include the eastbound Crescent and DET Corridor and the westbound Capitol Limited, Cardinal, Lake Shore Limited, and STL Corridor.
The average delays for the eastbound Cardinal, northbound City of New Orleans, and eastbound STL Corridor were inflated due to several extreme delays on the long-distance trains which were due to mechanical "issues" and host carrier causes.
Of the 64 trains that were more than 2' late: the Crescent accounted for 34; Texas Eagle (on the EB STL Corridor) for 14; and Lake Shore Limited for 5.
Of the total delay minutes in this period: the BUF Corridor accounted for 12%; the STL Corridor for 17 %; and the Crescent for 35%.
It would be interesting to know what the former heads of Amtrak who were good operating people would think about the current performance level.
