UP 8145 WB Empty Rock Train

UP 8145 Heads west through Uvalde, Texas to clear the Main Del Rio Sub at Cline and then proceed to Black Spur. For some reason this train had empty & loaded cars in the consist.
this engine and whole train has been working between Round Rock and Hutto the last couple of weeks dumping ballast.
 
I see cool. It also had two DPU "ES44" or ride alongs at the rear of it. I wounder if they were going to be used for that work train or just ride alongs for power need somewhere else? Any idea what the train id was for the work between Round Rock and Hutto?
 
they replaced the ties between Austin and Taylor and possibly further, and this train was dumping new ballast in the area. The other 2 engines on the train were there for "push pull" operations as they were going back and forth dumping ballast .
