It’s not just the fact they no longer fit in sidings but every aspect that ends up hurting passenger rail on time preformace. Trains are getting so long they don’t fit within a yards switching lead which blocks the main tracks. They are limiting horse power per tonnage so strictly that there’s only just barely enough to crawl up grades. There’s no room for error with these trains and it’s a merical they haven’t caused a serious derailment.

Allowing trains this long on the rails kinda feels like letting people drive a Canyonero through the carpool lane
