If the train is starting (it's trip) in the originating city (Chicago to Cinci or Cleveland), you may find it departing on time.

I live about an hour south of Boston. I can expect the trains southbound (Boston to Washington) to be on time. However, I expect the northbound trains (Washington to Boston) to be 20 minutes to 1 1/2 hours late!
