Actually, what you may not realize, is that gravel isn’t the only thing that is transported on that specific car. So what you are seeing makes perfect sense, it’s /easier/ to throw the strap back across than it is to wind it all the way back in.

As above. We need more information to be definite but whoever put the straps there like that did so to make their job easier and more efficient.
If the straps were put in place there to hold the side rails together then the straps would have to go on before the rocks were loaded or else the rocks would fall all over the ground.
Straps keep the sides from dropping open.
They’re holding the other side. Kinda like when a flat-deck has straps across the deck with no load. Can’t take them off. Herp Derp.

It keeps the sides from opening, thus preventing it from spilling. But this still looks so much like a very epic fail.
Or you guys could have a sense of humor. ~*~

The person who put those straps there definitely wasn’t thinking right! Straps won’t keep rocks down LOL
