Not a rider of the Camden line, but the reason it suffers so many more delays than the Penn line is that Camden runs on CSX-owned tracks, and so is often impeded by slow freight trains and other forces outside of MTAs control. Penn line runs on Amtrak-owned rails and is much more reliable as a result.

Indeed- As a Penn rider, I’m curious about the regular rider experience rather than the cause

It's not so much that the freight is slow its that CSX doesn't care about passenger trains because they don't make as much money
