GREAT video! Nice selection of intermodal equipment too.

Nice video 66, "Z's" never hurt for power. Your "Z" had some interesting trailers and stacks.

Nice camera framing!  Assuming after a thousand or so miles of travel that this Z is close to being on schedule, the most likely train in my opinion is the Z WSPNBY9 due to the 5 units.  If it only had 4 units, I'd have guessed the Z WSPLAC7.

Just keep the wheels a turnin’
This can’t take very long
But by the time you need it
 We’ll have it already gone

Lord I love movin’ freight
The feeling’s so great
Lord I love movin’ freight

Fresh fruit, veggies and beer
We got it all right here
Got UPS and FedEx riddin’ the line
Along with some trailers full of fine wine

Lord I love movin’ freight
The feeling’s so great
Lord I love movin’ freight

Got your new Frigidaire
Right in the back right there
Weber Grills and some shoes
Or whatever you may choose

Lord I love movin’ freight
The feeling’s so great
Lord I love movin’ freight
 
 
 
 
 
 

Don't think its the North Bay Z train - not enough UPS. Looks like the Stockton or an LA basin train.  

nice greyhounds, thanks for posting.........

Stockton trains usually have only UPS trailers, not containers, but there's always exceptions, just as there are slow days on the North Bays for UPS.  For that time and day, the Z WSPLAC7 was the only LAC one that fit, but this train could have been off schedule.
