Good video.  Noticed that when you set the camera showing the entire train past the camera, there is some out of focus of the train at speed.  The focus seems to be ok as the train approachs the camera and when you are panning the locomotives.  Same deal on the video you did a day or so ago,

yea, i can't use a super high quality camera because i take it mountain biking with me where the camera is subjected to a very "rough ride" at times.  if i can find a small hand-held camera with great video quality that i can carry in a backpack i will get it.  thanks for the input..........

It seems the solid TOFC train is gone.  There are still a handful of Z trains that are all TOFC equipment, but will have a few containers scattered about.  It seems that when FedEx went primarily to 53' containers, that spelled the end of the solid...without exceptions...pig train.

Many Thanks Vern,

Cheers Brian...in New Zealand..

Simply spectacular!   Had been waiting for such a video for a while.
There's been a few pics of solid pig trains on here quite recently.  I thought I recall it being BNSF's Richmond/Stockton job or the same symbol as this one seen here.   There could be days where it's solid vans and days where a few containers are thrown in.
