I read somewhere that they prioritised cargo trains over passenger trains anyway when it comes to delays and service reliability.
Besides, what else? There is only one railway network and you gotta use it anyway no matter how trashy it gets.
They don't even need to compete for passengers.
I think passenger trains generally have priority over cargo, but on the main "paths" they have a separate set of rails anyway.
Depends per line and train I think, some tiny local passenger train is always last in line.
