Awesome video with a LOT of neat stuff in it.  Thanks for posting!  

That second train had to be mostly empties.  Two engines uphill on Sherman?  
Some of the gons and flats were loaded, so they werent' all empties.

A Santa Fe FP45 on Sherman Hill?!!  Wow, what a catch. Given the date, that
had to be after the last renumbering.  Santa Fe kept those engines close to home
so seeing one on a foreign line is unusual.  Great catch.  

There's plenty of other stuff I'll let others comment on.  Again, thanks for posting!

Can anyone remember how/why the ATSF 93 got into pool service on the UP?  It was not that common to have an ATSF unit running loose on UP in Wyoming at that time and for it to be a FP45 is extremely odd.  Having it paired with just one UP unit and what looks to be a former Huron & Eastern GP9 is definitely a combo I'm glad you caught on video and have shared with us here.

Thanks for sharing the views from back then.
