I watched all hour-and-a-half. It did have some information about their restoration techniques, but a lot of it was photos from previous, but similar, restorations on other engines.

The thing I took away from it is that the massiveness of this kind of project goes far beyond just the manpower and logistics.

Watching the entire thing, however, isn't for everyone.

Apparently, the funding comes from deep within the UP PR budget.

As the guy mentioned, part of their job is to educate the future upper management of their value.

That would also include, undoubtedly, current and future Board members.
