Go to the various Amtrak Twitter accounts for delayed trains. Those with time, should look at the site below for the last 24 hours, it may open some eyes on delays.
Its no where complete, but gives a good sample.

Also remember that the LD trains today went through the change in Daylight time to Standard.

I know some will disagree with me ... others might agree ....

I will NEVER use twitter expecting factual information.
As a matter of fact, I will NEVER use twitter. Ever.
My cellphone is strictly that ... a cellphone for emergency use in the car.
Before I retired I always carried at least two cellphones and a pager. We referred to them as "electronic leashes" for our bosses.
No more!

I understand folks not wanting to use Twitter  or  Facebook.

But so many in industry and Gov't is using Twitter as their official info site in place the old web sites.

I have interest in fire service and Twitter is becoming the only source.  
If its not an official post, then do not read it, just as folks on TO says if you do not like a subject or person, do not read it !

As to smart phone use, I can not say, since I have not the funding or need for such a devise.  I have lived now for 86 years without one.

This is the exact use case Twitter was first designed for.  A nice front end on SMS messages that can provide real time alerts.  Often the best way to get prompt customer service is to complain on Twitter and @ the responsible company.
