Just a couple of thoughts:

- there have been multiple reports in the 1,000 range (750ish, 850ish, 1,000, 1,400)
- there was a report of a line of carts nearly a mile long
- at 15ft per cart (8' for the cart plus a gap between) a 4,000 cart parade would be over 11 miles long
- the distance from LSL to Brownwood is six miles - a 4,000 cart parade would fill the entire route with nearly 1,000 carts already parked at Brownwood and another 1,000 carts still waiting to leave from LSL
- the distance from LSL to Fenney is 13 miles - a 4,000 cart parade would fill nearly that entire route

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
