Merry Christmas Pwalpar! Cool video. When I was in Barstow on Monday, I saw a UP come to a quick stop. A grinding noise was coming from one of the wheels of one of the cars that was towards the end of the train. This train was over 100 cars long, so it took the crew a while to reach the back. I also saw some UP workers. I didn't film this, but it reminds me of your video. Good job!
