I'm not surprised at all. First off, they have to deal with the passengers. Can't leave them standing around New London for a hour or two. Secondly, they may have hoped that they could make up a little bit of the time.

That of course assumes that they hadn't already lost time by getting stuck behind the stalled Regional.
