I looked under recent images and saw nothing out of the ordinary
But presumably if they were running the rail grinder through last week and had to stop when it slammed into a BNSF train -- the rails still need scheduled grinding so perhaps that was it?

Could be the train was about 10/12 cars long which included a couple of passenger type cars. The entire train was painted yellow not UPRR armour yellow. [:o)]
