Looks like a "Baretable" with empty containers and trailers, since it has 118 platforms (not counting empty ones) but only 3 units.  A hot Z train with loaded UPS would have more units, and not so much international traffic, and it wouldn't be so neatly arranged, OOCL with OOCL, Yang Ming only with other Yang Ming.  I liked seeing the video!

interesting point mapboy about the mty containers/trailers. 

i do remember catching a z-lackck that had only 3 motors leading many moons ago.  not exactly a "smokin hot" trip........

The number of units can depend on the weight/size of the train.  The Z LPKNBY often has two units, even over Tehachapi, because it's so short and light.
