The inefficiencies are in the government, the businesses are still doing their best in a shitty situation, although right now they're obviously struggling with high energy prices, taxes and stuff like that.
The train system is government owned, lacks maintenance and they had some bad luck with their flagship, the ICE high speed train. America considered buying ICE, probably a good thing it didn't. Tho the pig (Acela express) is not much better, it uses technology from the more successful X2000, but managed to add too much weight, hence the name "the pig".
