Wherever you can

Six big ones
Title:  Six big ones
Description:  The CN trains must have gotten out of their slot, since they rarely ran with more than four units, and even that was unusual. This 41T seen across the corn at Hiawatha Rd has six, so a set must have gotten out of its cycle, and is now being moved back home as part of this massive consist, with 85 cars in tow.
