My understanding is that passenger trains always had priority over freight. The long freight trains are their way around giving priority. Can’t give priority if you’re too long to give it
Yeah, I’m 90% sure you’re right. Legally Amtrak gets priority when possible, so freight companies just make it impossible to sidetrack so Amtrak has to. It’s bullshit, but it’s not like our government is going to stop them.
