Great triple video set! But I have to ask, why two dismals on the short consist? The first is the Abraham Lincoln and the second is one in the standard yellow paint but with #1776, the year of our country's founding. Other than to celebrate our history, is there a operational reason to need two units with this train?

These were the first videos that I saw this morning, and they're the last tonight.  Excellent videos.

They are UP billboards, plus dynamic brakes.
