I previewed the 5640x7200 (118 M
scan of the original 6x7 cm slide, Tom -
And enlarged it to about double full-screen to count the roof-tops. There are twenty (20, count 'em, 20) cars in that late September '75 train, plus the fire-water car tagged on behind! That was probably the busiest day of the season.

p.s. I'm not absolutely sure of the date, but it was most likely the last Saturday of September – 09/27/75.
