I sure enjoyed watching this video! I haven't seen many videos on Frisco passenger trains. This was a nice addition to a book I recently ordered called, "Nothing is Finer Than A Frisco Diner," which is a very nice book!
I'm going to guess that from 0:00 to 4:40 the trains are the "Meteor" and "Will Rogers," as some of them have a sleeping car on the rear. From there to the end, most likely the St. Louis - Memphis "Sunnyland." At the end, maybe the "Kansas City - Florida Special," with a Southern Pacific sleeping car (??!!!) And at 11:20, I could swear I saw not only the SP sleeper, but a UP sleeper on the other track.
Wow. I'd been hoping for years Frisco passenger videos might show up here. Some of the trains even have sleeping cars! Just wish the trains were identified.

Note names under the cab windows--famous race horses.
That's a very nice video of the latest 1960's Frisco trains
Cool 😎 ❤
Wonder whatever possessed the Burlington to buy them
Burlington Northern, not CB&Q (1979)--to extend their empire into the Midwest. Now all part of BNSF.
