It's a footage of a drive-by of presumable the longest train ever recorded - 18.000 feet or about 5.5 km long driven by 3+2+2+2 engines and counting about 300 cars.
The location is the Yuma Subdivision at Fingal in sunny California.

The guy behind, Joe Perry, is a true enthusiast and also a splendid photographer as his site demonstrates:
