Freight rail also has priority over Amtrak, which causes all kinds of problems with scheduling and adds insane delays.

I mean sure, we can talk for hours about issues with Amtrak.

However that doesn't change what I said so I'm not sure why you are bringing it up. Amtrak most likely wouldn't be profitable if they had priority.

I think you may have conditioned by HN to assume that any comment is a refutation. I brought it up because it’s an additional piece of the explanation for why amtrack can’t support itself on ticket prices alone.

Fair. I'm just saying that its one of many factors so I was confused why you would bring it up specifically.
