No you should be ok. It is a Guarnteed Connection so in most cases Amtrak will either hold it or have you meet the train.

Well folks so far as of FY06 there have been 4 Ontime arrivals by 29/30.

just for the record when i took train 30 to washington DC on Sept 23-24 we got in around 340pm (thanks to some moron that tried to beat a freight just ahead of us that left us setting in lekhart IN for better part of 2 and half hours) only to find out train 91 was running 2 hours late due to a electrical problem

This train's otp continues to be ghastly. Most major delays seem to occur from waterloo to Chicago. Is the derailment a few weeks ago still an issue?

What ever it is, the SWC is sure paying the price for it. It is departing Chicago anywhere from 1-5 hours late every day.

Yea that really stinks there is rumor some rail adovcates might start a petition drive for Amtrak to dump it.

The term "rail advocates" would not seem to apply even to rumors.
