Looks like lots of BNSF transfer traffic, with the lower height BNSF boxcars, often carrying canned food and wine from California, along with the reefers / inslulated boxcars also carrying food / produce.  Great to see the boxcar traffic.  I wonder who gets all the big, white reefer cars?

They end up at the Humbolt Industrial Park up near Pittston, PA. I've been told they contain Wine.

Mahanoy City and other forms of the word "Mahanoy" are awkward to spell but for out of towners the name is really difficult to pronounce!

MA-ha-noi is the best I can do to type out how it’s pronounced.

Now Shenandoah, PA which is just a few miles west of where this video was taken is pronounced by locals completely different than how it is spelled. It’s only two syllables in Schuykill County verses the four in Virginia.

Never knew that about Shenandoah PA pronunciation.  Once knew an "underground farmer" from Mahanoy thus my familiarization with that name.

Those appear to be insulated box cars, not mechanical reefers.
