Thats because we basically gave our rail system to corporations so they only maintain them enough to not have shipments derailed, and they get priority during interchanges when consumer trains are approaching the same intersection tracks. I’ve taken trains where we had to wait an hour for freight trains to roll through before we got our chance to go.
