How do you measure Auto Train delays?
We record the delay at the final stop of each trip that completed, from Amtrak's live data. Cancelled trips are not counted. A trip is on time when it arrives 5 minutes late or less. Amtrak counts a trip as on time at 10 to 15 minutes depending on the route, so its figures can differ from ours; the 'within 10 minutes' share is the closest to Amtrak's threshold.
