Amtrak never on time

Yes, UP is out to get Amtrak, but lately, in the past year, the Texas Eagle has been getting to Chicago and San Antonio better (an hour or so late instead of 3-4 hours late). The conductor on the Eagle said UP got a new attitude when Mr. Gunn threatened to take its fuel surcharge allowance away.....(making fuel much more expensive for UP).... <br /> <br />I ride Amtrak almost every vacation, and have seen America riding the rails. The trip is always enjoyable, and I get a lot of rest and relaxation. I don't care how late the trains are, because I always plan the trip to have a couple of days of missed connections anyway.... <br /> <br />The thing that bothers me most is that some of the time when the trains missed connections, I end up in coach instead of the sleeper the next day..... However, Amtrak has always refunded the difference. At least Amtrak will put you up in a motel nearby the stations, something the airlines refuse to do..... <br /> <br />
