Trainspotting Questions

Yes, RJ Corman - spelling was corrected in initial post by not accepted by forum software.

According to their website, they are a Kentucky shortline. I couldn't find any reason why their empty boxcars would be part of a BNSF northbound freight haul, and since I'm not a fan of modern rail;roads, I thought I would ask those who are.

Probably just got lost.

Thanks for the response.

First R.J.Corman has short lines in Kentucky,Tennessee,Ohio, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and West Virginia..

The boxcar was probably a empty being returned to home rails.You see the car was loaded on one of Corman's short line and the receiver was on another road-maybe the BNSF...You see loaded freight cars travel far from home rails through interchange.This is how a CSX car gets lined hauled by the UP,NS or any road.It may even end up at a receiver in San Francisco or get loaded on the CSX in Baltimore and end up at a warehouse in Miami served by CSX so,the car didn't leave home rails--this load.Next load could be to a warehouse/industry served by R.J.Corman NS,CN or any road...
See how it works?
