Is it rail car shortage, or shortage of vehicles to put on those rail cars? My guess is they wait to fill the entire rail cars with vehicles that are going to specific geographical locations, ie. all the Georgia Camaros in this car, all the NY Camaros in this car, etc.
The train leaves with all the rail cars fully loaded and they switch out the entire set of vehicles on a "whole" rail car as needed based on location.
Doesn't make much sense to pull a train away from the plant full of half empty rail cars. But then again what do I know.
Anyway, I'm in MI, my car doesn't have too far to go.
