In fact, DB is headed for steep operational losses in the current financial year.

Devastatingly, regrettably, not sustainably, all over EU, at TEN-T etc., railway infrastructure standards, do not meet with, “On Demand”, current Strategy of ware owners.
(On Time deliveries are expected!)
“Optimal maintenance” (repairing, restoring, maintaining) is suboptimal.
For added future load etc., redundancy and resiliency, 32,5 T, or higher axel load etc., has to be provided for!
Electrification shall be redundant, etc.!
A shift is needed!
