Have just come back from the USA and had a great time. Didn't get chance to do much train watching as i was on holiday with some non railfan mates, but did ride from New York to New Orleans by train. We were 2 hours late into New Orleans which according to the staff is pretty good performance, an acceptable level of lateness so to speak. Apparently a few weeks erlier the train had been so late that a passenger had called 911 to report that they had been kidnaped by Amtrack. I'm still interested as to how a scheduled railroad like Norfolk and Southern can run a passenger train so late. After all if you have a scheduled railway you can plan on having trains stood in sidings for not that long and you can see the best times to start trains off so they never sit more than 5 min in a loop. If you just validade of a hedway and SRT table and have train times as ballpark figures does that not result in long waits in sidings for trains. I think this may have been covered before but when a thread getts to 65 pages you forget what was on page 15.
