Nice set of photos from So Cal in 1991, thanks.
The UP train in #8 might be the LANP. Those are empty "wing cars" from Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach buried six cars deep from the headend as they were high/wide cars. 
I remember that old tank car at Canyon in #9. I think it was a water car (for firefighting?) and there may have been two of them at one time.
