Way back in October, 2024 when CN issued its first Crossing Supplement, imposing crossing speed reductions on VIA's Venture fleet, not only was I not sure of what was happening on the nearby CN Kingston Sub and elsewhere in the Corridor, I didn't know why it was happening. Chat text from VIA's 'message us' section of its website (top image).
By the end of October, the full extent of the reductions had become apparent and I began recording how the reductions were affecting VIA timekeeping. Rather arbitrarily choosing Monday due to the higher number of Venture-equipped trains on that day of the week, I've continued to record Ventures' On-Time Performance (OTP) each Monday since, from November, 2024 to the present...and beyond...until these measures are finally removed.
Originally published in this initial post published on October 12, 2024 (containing buffer cars in the URL because it seemed we were going back in time, and perhaps VIA was about to add additional cars to Venture sets to meet CN's rather arbitrary axle requirements), I've since decided it's about time to break out these observations, giving them their very own post. The introduction of the crossing speed reductions should stand as a moment in time, and the effects thereof that have been felt since are in this post.
Remaining in the original post are any developments or news stories directly relating to the imposition of the Crossing Supplement. Here are Venture Mondays' OTP for the last nine months plus!
* * * THE OBSERVATIONS * * *
To measure the Ventures' OTP, I employ a three-step process each Monday:
- Ascertain which trains that Monday will be Venture-equipped using the traincar dot info website. This useful site, hosted by Barry Gettman, harvests reservation information from VIA and presents it for each train giving us a very good indication which are Ventures.
- Throughout the day (and night!) gather departure and arrival times from the asm dot transit docs website. This comprehensive site is populated with VIA (and Amtrak) train arrival and departure times from each station along a given route.
- Create a weekly update including the Number of Venture trains that day, Minutes Late for each train, Average OTP for Toronto-Montreal and/or Toronto-Ottawa trains, and any Notes.
The above methodology has become slightly more specific, and I hope useful and reflective of actual OTP, as the months tick by. For instance, removing 'doublavay' OTP from the average because those trains are not subject to the Crossing Supplements' provisions. Some have suggested using mean instead of average, and occasionally I do throw out data that unrealistically skews the average, but I've kept the math simple and I believe it's able to reflect operational changes that affect OTP going forward.
