For some time, I asked many folks why the windsocks in freight yards - we seem to have one at each track siding switch and yard out here in Carlsbad, New Mexico. Finally, I was told by a railroad man, that engineers working in the yards and sidings could tell how much of a shove to give the cars to make them go as far as they had to in order to reach their destination at the siding - the wind is definitely a factor here! Believe me, you haven't seen wind until you see windgusts in the wide open west! I'm originally from NJ and the wind doesn't blow this hard anywhere in NJ unless, as someone said they have a tornado or hurricaine. The chemical spill theory also seems to be a just reason for the windsocks!
