    I mean regular trains do use them all the time and those can go like 80-320 km/h (or even faster in other countries) where as truck only go like 80-100 km/h in Germany.

    I’m more concerned how much the amount of trucks wears them down compared to trains. You need many more trucks than trains for the same amount of goods and also trucks have a much higher frequency.
