BNSF Fan, <br />Take note of whether there is a trend... Your eastbound stacks will typically be 100% loaded boxes in your part of the world, whereas a westbound train may have some empties. Even though, to the casual observer, 2 trains may look the same, the tonnage in the boxes (or lack of tonnage in some boxes) could make the total weight of the train significantly different. <br /> <br />Also, as noted above, there's always the power balancing dillema. Right now is peak season for the UP. Intermodal is running at its heaviest for the year (pre-season fall retail rush). They're scrambling to get power where its needed to handle the trains. <br />
