Very interesting video, thanks for posting.

The first train was a catch with the two SD38-2's on the point. I had thought these were confined to hump duty,
so catching them on a road train is unusual, unlike the Santa Fe whose SD39's would often sneak out of the yards.
and a forty foot flat in the second train was also a catch. And I wondered what the units were doing on the
northeast connector track I didn't even know was there!

Great video- thanks for sharing it!

First train is the SP hauler with the interchange from West Colton to the B-yard.
