Years ago, the Twentieth Century Limited ran the same route as the Lake Shore Limited but made only two stops. Maybe that is why it only took 14 hours to go between NYC and Chicago back then as opposed to 19 hours today. And of course the 20th Century Limited had its own special express track which has since then been ripped out.
The LSL used to leave CUS a half hour after the Capitol Limited. But, because Long Distance trains coming from the West tend to be late arriving into CUS they would miss the connections in Chicago for eastbound travel. So Amtrak moved it to 930
Yes it splits. But you don’t have to move. People ticketed to New York City will already be in the correct cars that go to New York City. The people ticketed to Boston will be in those other cars

Eastbound; Once the Train arrives in ALB > > > the Train splits and the Boston group departs almost instantly!!!! The NYP group has to wait until an Electric Locomotive can be attached, then it departs!!! So Boston-bound STAY ON THE TRAIN :) !!
