Specifically the fractured track was a soldered joint that joined a track from 1989 with a new one from a few weeks ago.

This was a track laid a few weeks ago? I think that's the problem.

English is unusual in that we have both Germanic "weld" and Latinate "solder" and they've acquired different meanings. Spanish (and other Romance languages) use the term "solder" (soldado) for both.
