Another interesting collection of clips, thanks for posting.  

Some FYI stuff here:  From what I can tell, The first BN train was westbound, then a UP westboud, another BN westbound, then two UP eastbounds, the BN caboose hop was westbound
followed by a UP westbound, the GP30 switcher, possibly a local leaving Grand Island Yard, and concluding with another UP westbound.  

This had to be right at the end of the caboose era as all the trains had them.  And did you notice all the UP trains had CNW cabooses?  And a couple of CNW's
recycled SD45's in there two!
