Wife and I drove past the line of engines just waiting as we passed through southern AZ last week. Somewhat visible from I10.

Even a year ago the railroads were scrambling for hardware; not so much anymore.

It’s not just locomotives being “parked” either. One museum I know of has a 4+ mile demonstration track...over the winter they were being paid to store surplus hopper cars. Took up virtually the whole length of track.
