It also doesn't help when the Class I's practice what they laughably call "precision scheduled railroading", which includes assembling freights so long that they cannot fully fit onto sidings to allow passenger trains to take advantage of the priority dispatching they are supposed to enjoy over freights, and also won't allow the passenger trains to use the sidings to race around the freights.
I am of the opinion that is largely by design, not happenstance.
