Another UP Coal Train To BC

Northbound sitting at Colebrook, BC (junction between BNSF and ex BC Rail port sub.). UP locomotives uncoupling from train and appearing to pick up some cars on the short stub track. Union Pacific #6815/#8243/#6769/#7774 power with a short unit train of about 50-60 cars, much shorter than the train reported last week. Coal cars with reporting marks UP/CMO/CRIX/MCHX/CHTT. Some more weathered compared to others. The entire crew was wearing reflective safety vests - even the engineer. It appeared like a UP crew from where I saw them.

It was weird that the entire train streched from the #99 overpass to the set of two signals just before the short single track part of the junction. Pretty short.
