- Amtrak's Sunset Limited passenger service not meeting on-time performance standards.
- USA Surface Transportation Board looking into Union Pacific's Rail freight service (they own the rail) is undermining on-time service.
- The length of siding is identified as an issue for UP trains and the ability for Amtrak passenger service to get around.
- The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) of 2008 establishes a board to review problems of Amtrak keeping to on-time metrics.
