This is one of the worst parts of European train travel these days - while airlines are forced to find you replacement connection, give you hotel and even pay you a fee if they're late, there's nothing like that for trains.

So you can end up with a blame game of "well, you bought a ticket from DB, but OBB fscked up, good luck being stuck in the middle of nowhere!" situation that makes you wish you took a plane.
