Under Autoracks in your list, several Phoenix symbols are listed, implying autorack trains run to or from Phoenix. However, at the Red Rock and Picacho sidings (by the Sunset Route junction to the Phoenix Line), engineless autoracks are often seen.

I have to wonder since there are Phoenix autorack trains, why would autoracks be at said sidings?

Not sure. I just get info based on what symbols I have heard of semi-recently

Belatedly, thanks for replying.

Perhaps in the next year or two I will physically visit the Picacho area for a day and see where autoracks come from and go, and thus be able to answer my own question.
