It's just bad weather, poor management and lack of equipment that causes this kind of delay. In the winter they actually need 4 sets of equipment for the Lakeshore vs. the 3 they run now. Each time the westbound Lakeshore is more than 3 hours late into Chicago it will be even later departing east towards New York.

At one point, the Lake Shore had 4 sets of equipment, but of course like anything else, it was most likely dropped down to three sets for ons simple reason....SAVE MONEY!
