Economic Tidbit

This has nothing to do with video...but I thought it was interesting.

I was in Eastern Montana about a week ago..driving back home... and the railroad tracks paralleled the road. For nearly five miles there were parked cars. Not a train sitting...but cars in storage. 3-4 miles were just multi-modal cars..and then a mile or so of bulk material cars (grain, sand, whatever).

I had heard alot of mothballled planes...I get that one... but I was amazed to see rail cars and so many. there had to be thousands of them. The answer I guess is the US is consuming a lot less and less is being shipped.

Definitely a very leading indicator is when they put these cars back into service.
