I hope everyone realizes that posting trains with nothing but empty cars is kind of pointless. Unless you give specific instructions (for example 'Take these empty cars and load them at a coal mine) there is not much for the recipient to do except load the cars, at which point they become HIS cars with new destinations assigned. In general, it is better to post trains with LOADED cars, because loaded cars need to be delivered somewhere, whereas empties can be loaded ANYWHERE.Jim
