Yes, I should have specified in the US. In places with shared passenger and freight traffic (ie a lot of Europe and Asia), freight services can't hyper-optimize on very long, very slow, infrequent service.
This does result in usually less tonnage transported by rail, but service that is more flexible to faster shipping.
