On Germany the best lobby work to put transportation on truck instead of rail is done by DB, German Railroads, with their freight services. Compared to trucking you can easily double lead times, increase costs per ton and decrease trackability and reliability.

Same thing in Sweden.

Lower costs for the customers and higher reliability when you ship by truck means rail is not really a consideration even though it would be better for everyone if it actually worked.
