For instance, we're getting A LOT of trucks being built by Nissan lately. I assume it was the whole microchip dealio where they sat around partially completed--but the real point is that you'll get 20-40 autoracks to interchange with another railroad and they can't take them. They still haven't picked up the other 30 autoracks and 150 manifest cars. It's like that in so many places.
