FXE Gondolas

About a week ago I saw a couple of FXE gondolas carrying scrap metal headed north. Are any of FXE’s gondolas in a pool? Could scrap metal be going from Mexico to a mini-mill in the US? Could they have been going to a port in the Bay Area, or further north, and thus passing the ports at Los Angeles and Long Beach?

I see a lot of them here too, but their empty, os they might be running from Arkansas to California on the MoPac down to San ANtonio to the Sunset.

I’ve noticed a few FXE tank cars out in the desert on UP out of Mojave.

I saw three mty fxe gons in Conway yd. this morning in the westbound departure yd.

I see FXE gondolas fairly regularly also. The thing I thought odd was that they were load with scrap while heading north.
