Very informative.

I believe there is extensive CSX trackwork on the line the first half of the summer.  Amtrak cut one train in each direction to help accomodate the work.  My guess is that now and then there are delays from built up traffic and perhaps night work.  A couple of years ago there was night work when I went through on the Lake Shore.

Empire Service and Maple Leaf Temporary Schedule Change
Effective April 24 - July 13, 2016
From April 24 through July 13, CSX Transportation will perform extensive track work between Albany-Rensselaer and Niagara Falls, NY. To accommodate this work, Empire Service and Maple Leaf schedules will be adjusted.

• Trip times between Albany-Rensselaer and Niagara Falls will increase by up to 25 minutes.
• On Sunday through Wednesday, Trains 284 and 281 will not run.
• Some train numbers will change, however, frequencies between Albany-Rensselaer and New York will not be affected.
• Some trains will depart earlier. To avoid missing your train, check Amtrak.com, our free mobile apps or speak with Amtrak personnel for the most up-to-date schedules.
