Amtrak never on time

I spoke with a CSX dispatcher out of JAX in early January. He said AMTRAK pays each freight RR $3.50 per mile per train, which he claimed was not sufficient incentive to run AMTRAK on time. Perhaps AMTRAK needs to pay more for on-time trains, & assess fines for late trains. <br /> <br />The CSX dispatcher also said UP was the worst for AMTRAK -- CEO "hates" AMTRAK & will run any shambling freight around a passenger train.
