6451, 6453 and 6455 were in the Oakland pool in 2/1974
From CTC Board:
The reason for two sections of 5 and 6 is because the regular section had a large R&LHS tour of private cars heading to SLC and back to LA for that long weekend. Green flags on UP958 indicate it had the Sparks section and the R&LHS tour was on 2/6.Because of the demand for Reno tickets, the Sparks section was created from the Reno Fun Train pool
2493-2464/63-AM8116 (snack car)-2982(RFT lounge-dance car)-2467/68-2469/70-10204(snack car)2383-2416/17-2387-La Condessa(private car)
UP958 was pulled off the Sparks section that weekend and replaced with AM425 and the Sparks section was 2/5 on Monday 2-18
To answer Steve's question, SP6453 and 6451 were the two SP Fs on 1/6 in his picture.
