The video description says this footage was shot around Claremore (OK) which accounts for the Frisco action, and also on the southern Illinois joint line, which would be the MP-SSW Dupo-Illmo route.
The red & white 3-silo car is a Halliburton car for transporting dry bulk ingredients for oil well drilling mud.
There was and is no restriction on having tank cars next to a caboose…the restriction is if cars contain certain hazardous materials.
This is indeed great footage….kudos to the filmographer for capturing freight cars as well as locomotives.
