@johnlogic @PeterBronez @patterfloof there's no way we're going to be able to build new rail infrastructure dedicated to passenger transportation in most of the USA. The land owners will *not* sell.

So we're stuck with sharing rail with freight, and Just In Time freight tactics are abusing rail access by ensuring the trains are too long to take the passing sidings, so the passenger trains will *always* have to pull off and wait for the freight to pass.
