Z What?

I've been looking on several railfanning sites and I've saw a type of BNSF train called a Z Train. What the heck is that?? Is it like a doublestack with some TOFC flats or some auto cars? Or is it a plain doublestack? Does anyone here know what exactly a Z Train is???

That refers to the double stacks and the trailer units. The Z was coined from the Zepher passenger line that used to be around. Meaning a fast, for freight that is, high priority train.
