What Happened to the CL/LSL

I was looking up the arrival of the equipment for 48 tonight (AKA 49 from NY), first checking the Amtrak Status Maps. It looked good, along with the CL out of SOB, but when I learned what the grey backround meant, I wanted to see if something was wrong.

Both trains were about 5 min late out of SOB; The CL made it into CHI over 2 hours late, closely followed by the LSL. What happened between SOB and CHI?
