The part about the engine rebuild was particularly interesting to me.  I have known about the EMD power assemblies for quite some time, but it's the first time I have actually seen one being taken out.

56 mins. long - KCS 605, looks like an SD40.  Will have to watch it when I have more time.  Thanks for sharing.
