Train sparks grass fires in Colorado Springs

The last line of the article is interesting:
... said the train company is taking the southbound train, the one that caused the grass fires, off the tracks for maintenance.

Sounds like something got lost in translation.

Grass fires seems incongruous given the five inches of snow we got
here yesterday. And yes, we'd be happy to share.

It's NOT train company, it's RAILROAD!

Lately, Colorado has been no stranger to grass being sparked up... if you know what I mean. It explains everything.
