Sadly, in the US our rail system is a joke. The lines are owned by freight companies, who are supposed to yield right of way to passenger rail, but don’t, and the government does nothing.
Getting there several hours late is considered good outside of the northeast; getting there a day or more late isn’t uncommon.

Yeah, luckily most European rail lines are state owned, and at least in Switzerland the freight and passenger networks are redundant.
