Don't shoot the messenger, heh. But check out this Detroit Free Press article. We can blame this one on the weather?:
Chicago-to-Pontiac Amtrak passengers spend New Year's Eve in long delay

Looks like the train was scheduled to depart Chicago at 6 PM. It didn't roll out of Union Station until 8:25 PM due to an engine issue.
A switch issue caused an additional 1 hour delay between 10:45 PM & 11:45 PM near New Buffalo (MI).
The train arrives into Kalamazoo MI around 1 AM. The train only departed Kalamazoo at 5:30 AM to relieve crew. At 7:35 AM the train stopped in Albion MI to relieve additional crew. By 10:45 AM the train was finally on the move from Albion. Wonder if it made it to Pontiac yet, heh.
