RE: empty freights
you can get trains that run all empty.Intermodals, autoracks, grain, potash, coal. It all depends on what the trains is hauling. Like on CP, all the bulk goods will return back to get loaded as a empty train.Chris Wilson

RE: empty freights
John:
The only rule of thumb is that empty rolling stock belonging to other RRs' has to be returned to their tracks asap. They just add to almost anything going in the direction of the other RR. This is also the basis of the Midnight Shove. Getting the cars off your tracks and onto someone elses so they pay the rental for the day.Cyndi
