Or points to it happening at one o'clock in the morning in the middle
of winter, and them needing a few hours of daylight to do a proper
search of the area?

The steel wheels on steel rails do not really pick up evidence and
distribute it further down the track. If necessary fit some sheets
of plastic under the rails and let the trains pass. Easy peasy, even
with conductor rails.

With all due respect, that's just plain silly. Are you seriously
suggesting that trains could run through a murder investigation scene,
at speed (hint: aerodynamics) for a few hours (or until a quiet time
the next weekend?) without hindering the investigation in any way?
