Section E of Amtrak's Monthly Performance Report contains an analysis of the schedule performance of its trains.  The report shows the cause of the delays, the minutes of delay, and the host railroad on which the delays occurred.  The report for September 2007, which can be found at <a href="http://www.amtrak.com/">http://www.amtrak.com/</a>, contains the data for the fiscal year ended 30 September 2007.  While the nature and reasons for the delays will vary over time, the delays experienced during the past week were probably caused by the major delay drivers that afflicted Amtrak throughout 2007.The biggest driver behind the late running long distance trains that pass through Texas (Texas Eagle and Sunset Limited) is freight train congestion.  From August 1 through December 31, 2006, the Eagle was late by an average of 59 minutes at Dallas and 69 minutes at San Antonio.  On nine occasions the southbound Eagle was so late that the train was terminated in Fort Worth and the passengers were bused to their destination.  The record for the Sunset is even worse.
