I don’t know why, but looking at the historical data it looks like things go bad at the Springfield, MA station (SPG): https://juckins.net/amtrak_status/archive/html/history.php?train_num=54&station=&date_start=09%2F14%2F2022&date_end=10%2F14%2F2022&df1=1&df2=1&df3=1&df4=1&df5=1&df6=1&df7=1&sort=schDp&sort_dir=DESC&co=gt&limit_mins=&dfon=1

I've heard Amtrak has had problems with class 1 railroads giving themselves priority, and not Amtrak. I'm not sure if that's the issue here tho, but Springfield has a CSX yard/trackage.
