Count'em. Seven. Yup, seven MLW's up front on this extra westbound at Sherbrooke, Quebec. I'm pretty sure just the first four are on line because it is a rule that no more than 24 operating axles were to power the freights on the eastern lines of the CPR however, it was an unwritten rule that if tonnage was heavey sometimes some of those trailing units would suddenly come to life and get over the road when needed....;)
