Private Railways Protest

Seen this on twitter:

 

An extraordinary "protest train" of 20 freight locomotives, horns blaring, has today done a circuit of Berlin's railway tracks. The private freight railway operators are requesting the same bailout support that state-owned DB Cargo is to be handed. 

 

Hörst du das Signal, Berlin?

Yes, I saw a posting in another place about that "protest".

 

I thought one of the principles of the EU was a big no to state aid - which presumably means Governments can bail out nationalised organisations, not private.  Which is rather handy for the still state-owned DB in the present climate.
