Can't say for sure if this is a clear sign that customers feel that a lengthy RR strike is imminent but I live very near RR tracks and for the past couple of weeks I've been seeing train after train pulling much longer strings of cars than usual loaded with everything from coal to tank cars to double stacked shipping containers, many of the shipping containers with major trucking company names like, Schneider, Yellow Freight, J.B. Hunt, etc., and big box store Walmart, Amazon, etc., shipping containers.
