Como Depot,

All I see are ties and possible bridge timbers on the trailing flatcar(s), but I cannot tell what is loaded on the flat car being pushed.  If there are any rails, there are relatively few.  While I cannot be sure, I am thinking this is a work train en route to repair a washout or upgrade an existing trestle.  Regardless, I do not think this is a full-blown "steel gang" replacing iron rails with steel rails.
