I have always seen BCNAHL wagons huge, so my guess resonates with other's views.
But I don't think if the answer was this simple, you would not have asked us. Another thing which makes me think that I cannot be 100% right is the presence of that person on the track. He does not seem to be a Khalasi.
My second guess is that, there could have been a small mishap or something similar to it.

Whatever the case, it is good to see consistent liveries of WAG7 tigerface on all the 6 locos.

Sachin is right. The stalled load can be seen in this picture. The approaching assisting engines can be seen in this picture. A khalasi was present, to couple the two triplers.
