   Seeking to improve on-time performance of its long-distance passenger trains,   
   Amtrak has filed a complaint against Canadian National Railway, a major   
   operator of freight trains.   
      
   Amtrak asked the federal Surface Transportation Board to investigate Canadian   
   National for delaying passenger trains that operate on the freight railroad in   
   Illinois.   
      
   Under federal law, passenger trains are required to receive preference over   
   freight trains in dispatching of trains. Amtrak has blamed freight operators   
   for a big drop in Amtrak's on-time performance in the past year.
