I googled it.
The short version is freight companies own the rails, and they carry
passenger traffic because the guvmint tells them they have to. They
lose money on passenger service but make money on freight
service......so yes backwards QoS policy because to them it's not
backwards.
I never really knew. This is only my second train trip in my entire
life.....come to think of it the other one was late too.

So what the heck does it mean that my train is delayed by "freight
train interference"?
Do the railroads have a QoS policy favoring bulk downloads over
realtime traffic? Seems backwards. The freight wouldn't care if it
took an extra hour. Just sayin.
