Makes sense to me, Earl -

I was off by only two days on the date — the photo you posted was taken September 17, 1996 instead of on the 19th.
(Not too bad for close to two dozen years ago and me being almost 78½ . . .   )

When was the next double-header on Train #4 (the three color photos I posted above)?  I presume it was the following Saturday, Sept. 21, so at least I got that date correct when I scanned my 6×7 color slides.
