Amtrak delays are terrible even on the northeast regional, which doesn’t share with freight rail.

But they share with commuter rail. And Amtrak and the local commuter rails (particularly Metro North) are locked in a perpetual pissing contest.

European rail services share with other passenger rail as well. Sharing with other passenger rail doesn’t create the same issues.

They’re run by the same company though. The SNCF is notorious in letting long distance trains first, making commuters unhappy.
