Trying to get confirmation..... Was the Capitol Limited Train #30 leaving Chicago on May 19th cancelled - putting passengers up in a hotel for the night? I'm curious because I was supposed to be on that train and had to postpone my trip a day due to an emergency.
 
We haven't discussed the CL and LSL on-time performance across the NS segment in recent months, but a quick check shows that CL #29 has slipped back into arriving at CHI 1 to 3 hours late most days in recent weeks. LSL #49 is not doing much better, but it is averaging an hour late getting to Cleveland due to delays across upper NY state. Is the NS meltdown making a modest comeback for the 2015 summer track work season? #30 CL is averaging 1:08 late arriving at WAS since April 27.

The status maps report for #30(5/19) shows it left CHI on-time and arrived at WAS 33 minutes late. A decent run.

Hah. In comparison to the TE, those trains are pikers! They may be (a couple of hours) late - but at least they make it to their destination!
