The worst delay that I can think of afflicts those passengers on the Texas Eagle who are traveling from points north of San Antonio (SA) to points west of the Alamo City and vice versa.  South and west bound they arrive in SA. at 9:55 p.m., but they do not depart until 5:40 a.m.  East and north bound they arrive in SA at 9:30 p.m. and depart at 7:00 a.m.  There is nothing sneaky about the layovers.  They are clearly stated in the timetable.  However, on two recent trips on the Eagle, several fellow passengers expressed shock when they learned how long they would be lying over in the Alamo City.  Apparently they had not read the timetable.  The long layovers in SA have at least two positive consequences.  If the trains are on-time, which has largely been the case for the past year or so, the layovers give the through passengers plenty of time to visit some of the watering holes along the famed SA River Walk or just the walk for teetotalers.  And for those passengers in the through sleeping car who do not sleep well whilst the train is moving, they can count on little movement during the night whilst laying over in SA and, therefore, hopefully have a more restful night than would be true if the train was moving.  Nevertheless, I hope the Eagle replaces the Sunset Limited west of SA, as has been discussed in a previous posting, and the dwell time in SA is reduced to a reasonable time.
