Narrator: (Reading headlines) Amtrak Trains Delayed for Hours, Passengers Delayed for Two Hours. Delays are the worst. Trust us, we know. We're proud to take Amtrak passengers where they need to go. Across the country, around the clock, 32 million people rely on Amtrak each year. Each passenger ready to sit back and enjoy the ride. But sometimes that ride is delayed, and it's time you knew why. Delays might happen because of weather, scheduled track maintenance, mechanical problems with our trains, or obstructions on the track. But usually, it's what we call freight train interference. That's when our trains are delayed by slower freight trains ahead of us. Amtrak owns most of the tracks in the northeast corridor, but almost all the other rails are owned by freight railroad companies. By federal law, these host railroads have to let us use their tracks and prioritize passenger trains. But it doesn't always work out that way. When freight railroad companies move their trains first, it leaves Amtrak passengers waiting behind them and that means missing important meetings, time with your family, or your next connection. Last year, freight trains delayed passengers more than one point two million minutes. That's over two years’ worth of delays. Amtrak supports the vital work that freight railroads do, but passengers shouldn't have to wait for freight any longer. The law is on the books, but the freight often ignores it. Congress can fix that. Tell your member of Congress you have the right to be on time. Ask them to support legislation to put people before freight. Amtrak takes you where you need to go. Now let's get going.
等待货运列车是乘客延误的最大原因。
货运列车干扰是货运轨道作出的一项延迟Amtrak客运列车，使货运列车先行的调度决定，其在2024年造成了850,000分钟的晚点。
因部分货运铁路无视法律要求，发生货运列车干扰现象。
50多年来，法律一直要求货运铁路让Amtrak“优先”于货运列车运营客运列车。但是，由于Amtrak难以强制行使这种优先权，很多货运铁路无视法律要求，对旅客和美国经济造成不利影响。
2024年的长途列车准点表现参差不齐
2024年，并非所有长途路线的准点表现都能达到FRA的80%准点标准。
