Also level crossings and equipment breakdowns. Collisions between cars and trains are not uncommon. In my first and last Amtrak trip, I rode from Chicago to Las Vegas and was nearly 24 hours late on arrival, due to delays from freight traffic, hitting a car at a crossing, and having a locomotive break down. And my luggage was delayed for another day after that.

That’s...pretty rare.
