NS is doing trackwork in Indiana with a lot of single-tracking. There are often massive delays to both the Capitol Ltd and Lake Shore Ltd's.

The wetsern connections are guaranteed, bit if 49 gets to be 6+ hours late, that only means they'll put you in a hotel for the next day's #7. That can happen if both CSX and NS behave badly on the same trip, and if there are delays upto Albany. The signals tend to go out when they have bad thunderstroms.

449 from Boston is another vulnerability. About 2 weeks ago, 48 ran 11 hour late. Then 449 left Boston 6 hours late, and they did not head west from Albany until they were 6 hours late or about 1am. Western connections we4r missed that trip since they were further delays into Chicago.
