Someone in the comments said those were likely empty, and I feel like that makes sense on one level (the blowing over and sliding so far), but can't imagine they are transporting hundreds of empty containers around.

The are returning East to load with more product. This is the most efficient way to move them empty back to origin.

Makes sense since trains are O&G

Reminds me that the Texas History class I took long ago in grade school made sure that we learned what the Texas Railroad Commission actually was about.

Terry Co. >> Bailey Co.

I always liked how so many of the towns around Lubbock are two-word descriptors combined into a one-word name.

  • Brown. Field.
  • Level. Land.
  • Sun. Down.
  • White. Face.
  • Shallow. Water.
  • Little. Field.
  • Mule. Shoe.
  • Plain. View.

I like to picture an exhausted old cowhand leaning up against a rock, looking at his barbwire fence handiwork and struggling to summon the energy to slowly pronounce the name of the last one just: POST.

Even if the containers were full, the boxes likely had the smallest possible items inside a gigantic box filled with those puffy air things.
