Virtually empty, train is empty

In the upcoming station, the train will become virtually empty, because most of the passengers will get off.
In the upcoming station, more than half of the train will be emptied as most of the passengers will get off over there(on that station).
I saw a empty train(without passengers) going ahead. Maybe it is going for a service.

Please correct my sentences and provide me with better versions.

So you mean in anyway "empty train" cannot be used.

Also, in the last sentence, I don't want to mean it's going out of service. I want to tell that the train is going for a service.
I mean a service need to be provided to the train like "cleaning the train", etc. For that purpose, the train is moving towards a shed.

Hi Gary,

So you mean in anyway "empty train" cannot be used. I wouldn't say it's wrong, but it's awkward. It's also unclear as to whether the train is a passenger train or a freight train.
