Texas Eagle

Earlier this week I saw the Texas Eagle going through Athens Texas at 12:15.  Does anyone know what UP was doing that caused the detour?

Feb 22nd to March 11th, Texas Eagle will detour from Longview, TX to Austin, TX, passengers for points in between will board busses.    Detour is due to extensive trackwork on the regular UPRR route.
