That's a 6-hour "layover."  (intentional)

Tell me what to expect.

You can expect delays.

You'll be lucky if a 6-hour "delay" is what you will have accumulated over the course of the trip.  The silver lining, if you are a train fan, is watching freight moves, locomotive changes, opposing passenger traffic, and admiring the scenery and interesting ROW infrastructure.  Bring a camera with plenty of memory.
