That mostly due to us freight rail being very focused on tight margins. That's why even in very dense rail areas they still use diesel trains.

I was talking specifically about European applications. US passenger rail is a disaster regardless of power source for legal, logistical, political, and social reasons. It's really sad. I like having my car as much as any other suburbanite, but I've seen good passenger rail systems around the world, and they're really nice to have.
