Why a freight railroad appears on a travel site

CSX Transportation does not carry passengers, but it owns and dispatches track that passenger trains run on. When a long-distance service loses time, it is frequently because it is waiting for a freight movement on a host railroad's line. Understanding who hosts which route helps set realistic expectations about punctuality.
