This train came through in mid-afternoon on a Thursday. At its head were 6-7 wagons carrying one full-size container and 11-12 'small' boxes. Following them were 19 empty wagons, some of them looking brand new, representing capacity for 19 full-size containers. Two or three weeks later, from observation, trains are carrying more boxes in each direction. Christmas imports are on the move: perhaps southbound trains are hauling mostly empties.
