    Franz pulled a truck and 2 trailers on 5. It was considered triples.
    Similar to a B train config.

    i think some of the explosive mofos, such as Boyle, use them. Not sure what they use them for though.

    I think the old Hostess had some running in California, prior to their shut down, I don't know if the new reopened Hostess uses them now or not.
