i wish the govt was in charge of maintaining the infrastructure, and i wish the govt owned the infrastructure then prioritized passenger traffic over freight so we could get some semblance of a working regional rail system.
prioritized passenger traffic over freight
Technically that’s already the law. But freight lines don’t care because the law isn’t enforced
They often do prioritize passenger trains, but if it's single track already occupied by a long, slow freight train, the passenger train is going to have to wait anyway.
