Note: traveling on Amtrak after traveling on a Shinkansen is...desperately depressing. Feels slow and rickety. And, of course, running late.

Fun fact from Wikipedia: "In 2014, JR Central reported that the Shinkansen's average delay from schedule per train was 54 seconds." !!!

The Amtrak train I'm on right now is only running 23 minutes late and I'm like, it could be way way way worse. Don't wanna jinx it.

Out of curiosity, I tried looked up average delay for the train I'm on. Relevant page of Amtrak site won't load. Perhaps says enough.

OK, it finally loaded. It doesn't give an average number, just says that it's on time about 75% of the time. I mean, could be worse.
