OOOOOPS!

Oooops, I got the date on the southbound train wrong. That picture was in
May 1989 and had nothing to do with the movie. Apparently the southbound consist of the movie train was the same as the northbound consist shown the second picture.

C'est la vie. It is tough living with a failing memory. Sorry.
