I have been wondering about this for a while - consider one boxcar, say the MR 70th anniversary car. Once it is on a particular railroad's rails, and has reached its destination, what determines its next destination? <br /> <br />Does the ownership of the car have any influence on what it is loaded with and where it is sent to? Does the car owner derive any revenue from each use of the car? If so how is it billed?. Does the car ever have to (or is it supposed to) return to it's owner's rails, and if so when? Will the car be predominantly located in the vicinity of its owner's rails, or does it freely traverse the continent? <br /> <br />Sorry for all the questions, but they are all flavours of the same query. <br /> <br />I will be most grateful for any help from you informed members. <br /> <br />Thanks, Ryan
