Interesting. I had heard that many of the rail lines are used under contract because they're privately owned by the freight companies and that the freight trains having priority was a stipulation of those contracts. Not the lines marked on this map, as those are Amtrak lines, but all the other ones across the country. It might be a local commuter rail thing or something.

Oh no, that’s not owned by Amtrak. Amtrak owns the NEC Boston to DC, but very little of the rest

The map is Amtrak service, which commonly runs on track owned by freight carriers
