I pity the poor people stuck at crossings.

Watch for chemtrails.

they were going to start rounding us up and start in Austin Texas
flummoxed I tell you, flummoxed

them on a route somewhere.

Some of these engines are likely unpowered and being being moved to another yard.

Unless you see heavy diesel smoke coming from all 15, that will be the case.

it has little to do with train length, or tonnage... the truth is that often because of the nature of commerce there will be more trains bound for some destinations, that may not generate traffic going out... for instance container trains are point to point, this ends up concentrating motive power at the destination point.. when you see such massive consists of locomotives it is often simply moving locomotives from point a to point b... in effect shipping them in the train, rather than running them down the track alone.. the railroads refer to this as "power balancing"

as a model railroader many us of study prototype practices, and often use them in our operating sessions..

great observation perhaps your a closet model railroader!!

I had trains when I was a kid, does that count? And still find that very cool.
