Da Duke,
When locomotives haul hundreds of freight wagons, the numbers of cars and their total cargo weight are verified before departure. The momentum of each cargo train will likely change on approaching and leaving corners/ inclines/ declines, line switches and be impacted by other speed changes caused by weather, signals, and even crew health.
But why obsess over the digital content of the musical freight trains that has already been verified after departure simply because timing variations due to component differences and other track factors come into play? If you were to suggest to railroads that differences in daily mileage performance of their freight trains could be accounted for by verified wagons becoming detached in varying numbers during each trip, they would find the suggestion unworthy of serious response.
