Many of the containers appeared to be unlettered also!

Unique catch

Wow the flanges are really singing here. I loved the way flange squeal used to sound along mountain railroads in the 1990s. Just doesnt seem to sound the same anymore.

Nice video, thanks for posting.  Looks to be lots of UPS trailers which makes me think
it's the 991 train.  Sun angle indicates an afternoon shot which reinforces my view.

Nice video, thanks for sharing.  And thanks for the close up views of the intermodal equipment, I spotted a few of the drawbar connected F89's in the mix.  Would agree about this being a 991 train based on the UPS trailers and time of day.
