Why Amtrak is awful.

tl;dr, Although freight rails are supposed to give priority to passenger trains, they don't. Nobody enforces this law and even though there are places for one train to "pull over" in order to allow another one to pass, freight trains are often too long to fit into these. All of this combines to make passenger rail awful.
