Currently, NARP has over 15,000 individual, dues-paying members. NARP and its members are deeply concerned about the unacceptable on-time performance experienced by Amtrak trains operating on many Norfolk Southern and CSX lines since the Conrail Acquisition. We recommend that you check with us close to your departure time to obtain current schedule information. The damage is not confined to Chicago-East Coast trains.
Passengers connect in Chicago with other trains, and equipment runs through.
The damage also is not confined to former Conrail lines. Finally, the damage is not even confined to trains suffering en route delays due to freight congestion problems. Unfortunately, the above-referenced quarterly report only covers lines that were previously owned by Conrail. We hereby ask the Board to require that future reports show data for all Norfolk Southern and CSX lines handling Amtrak trains. Severe lateness of Amtrak trains on NS and CSX has given Amtrak service much bad publicity.
