SD70i CN 5624 has been pushing back the Continuous Welded Rail train, unloading a rail through the rail feeder cars next to it. 
Impressive that two track rails well anchored to ties can reliably bend the number of rails carried by a CWR train. I count 5 levels of rollers (4 levels loaded here) and looks like at least 10 across, which would make 50 rails. This says something about the flexibility of long steel rails.
