A place for your preferably unique useful or fun sites and kind of a bookmark manager for me :p
At least in Germany it's due to partial privatization. To a degree. We still think it should be profitable and don't treat it as the critical infrastructure it is.
Here it is also partially privatised, but only train providers. National rail maintainer is SŽDC. I think that it is similar in Germany.
