Not only did she lose 3 hours between Erie and Cleveland, she sat at Cleveland for 1:14.  

Could it be that one engine was not enough?  (need home road power on CSX replaced at Cleveland with NS power?)

It's amazing how many posters always and immediately assume that any problem with Amtrak is related to something Amtrak is doing wrong.

Boy ain't that the truth, still what caused 49 to lose 3 hours initially though!

A propos the tendancy to automatically blame Amtrak if there's a problem with Amtrak, the following quote, attributed to Damon Runyon, makes a lot of sense:

The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet.
