I didn't know that about their freight network but it makes sense.
-
it uses the same tracks as the passenger network, generally

yeah I figure the difference between passenger and freight is at the destinations, not the long stretches between.

although I recall reading about passenger trains getting stuck for hours because there aren't alway a proper bypass

in Japan? very unlikely, if not impossible--but elsewhere, more common, in the USA, extremely common

also this is rail, not roads! it's a signaling issue, not a bypass issue--bad schedules not bad infrastructure
