But if I’m not mistaken a
prototypical consist of these cars is either 3 or 5 at a time.

Don’t forget the single well car! Interestingly, whether at 1 or 3 or 5
wells, they are each considered one car.

Right, the wieght and rolling savings aside, it’s also cheaper to pay for 1
cor to roll on someone elses line then it is for 3 or 5.

Forgive the mundaneness of this question, but why the odd number of wells?
How come 2 and 4 well cars aren’t seen as often (or at all)? I see a lot of
these cars come and go in the yards near me, I’ll have to start counting the
number of wells!
