I don't know about other lines, but most of the delays on Southwest Service (ex-WAB) are the result of cross traffic at Belt Junction (BRC), Forest Hill (CSX) and Chicago Ridge (IHB).
Example: the large growth in freight traffic over the UP West line over the last twenty years. Result? overcrowded at times, thus delays.
