DB Cargo is producing more losses than the other branches, i.e. passenger rail. It doesn’t generate profits like in the US (shorter trains, more single rail car traffic, shorter distances, infrastructure held up to higher standard thus more expensive, lower priority compared to passenger rail)

You're missing the point: it is still less loss incurring than passenger rail (and has been at least profitable sometimes, or in some markets).
