When did the mail carriers go to a 5 day week? I think they all get Sunday off and then another rotated day each week. The mail carriers have always had a strong union. Add a subtantial number of vacation days (seniority) and numerous federal holidays.
If you are real familiar with the territory and operations, it can be done. In those days, most trains would have operated by schedule, so you would have had a good idea where to be. A little help from the crews or agents never hurts either.
