Not saying it's the only one, but as it's nearby I can speak more definitively.
I’m not entirely sure Canard’s sarcasm is maximally helpful to the conversation, but to put in my 2 cents, I don’t know exactly what yards it stayed in but Mac yard seems unlikely to be a good location for graffiti (too much security, I assume) while Lancaster seems like an excellent location: downtown, accessible, probably not much security. Other yards, we don’t even know where it went. Personally, my guess would be a local switcher would take it somewhere not that far from Bombardier, and then it would get picked up and taken straight to Mac. Of course I could be wrong since I don’t know much about railway operations, certainly not in detail, but it’s not really that far from Kingston to here so it isn’t clear that it had to get separated out very many times.
So I think there is a reasonable possibility that an over-the-weekend sojourn in Lancaster would actually be the biggest risk for vandalism. But without knowing more about where it’s been the last few weeks I can’t form a firm opinion.
