I just got back from 4 days of driving through california and nevada, and i saw several very long freight trains parked on long stretches of tracks in the boonies. personally, i think the freight strike was not averted. one train for sure was parked mon thurs through a corridor in the nevada desert near vegas that they are always moving through. these had oil containers as well as closed freight shipping containers and car carriers.

I hope that's the case, but having driven this way over the years, it seemed odd there were several togethed, and some hadn't moved over days.

They also like to store empty stock on sidings in the desert because metal lasts for centuries out there without getting rusted or vandalized. If there were no locomotives, that may be what you were seeing.

There were locomotives and helped engines.
