West on the VGN at Ellett

[NW Mailing List]

At about 8:30 this evening a train of well over 100 empty container
and/or piggyback cars went west. This is the first time I have seen an
entire train (and it was a long one) of empty container/piggyback cars
around here. 

 

It would seem to me that the number of container/piggyback cars going
east and west would have to be about the same (whether the containers
are filled or empty is irrelevant to whether there is a container or
trailer on the car) , so seeing an entire train of empties is a bit
mystifying. What am I missing?
