This is 100% false. The agreement in which Amtrak was created to take over passenger service, allowing commercial railroads to prioritize freight, they were given precedent[0].
You might think the regulations leading to this agreement were bad, but this is the reality. Legally, the freight carriers do not have priority, and by law they cannot tell passenger rail to "f off".
