The only intermodal with BNSF reefers is the ZSTOWSP6.

The ZSTOWSP6 runs Tu-Sa out of Stockton around 0200.  A lot of Fridays and Saturdays the ZSTOWSP7 will have head end reefers, too.  It runs about 12 hours behind the Z6, We-Sa.  No eastbound counterpart.

Would this be the former Z-FRSCHI7?

I know you meant "westbound" counterpart.  LOL   Regularly see this train on the east end in Missouri.

You're right, westbound counterpart!  I made that post at 0424!
