Thanks to Jim Ogden and the Internet, we have the 1966 travel schedule of the Metropolitan Opera:
The 1966 tour dates for the New York Metropolitan Opera touring company: Boston 4/18 to 4/24; Cleveland 4/25 to 4/30; Atlanta 5/2 to 5/7; Memphis 5/9 to 5/11; Dallas 5/12 to 5/15; St. Louis 5/16 to 5/17 and then on to Minneapolis 5/18 to 5/22 and Detroit 5/22 to 5/28. These dates match exactly the special train dates noted in this thread. Note the close timing between performances, with no allowance for any significant train delay.
The NYC 9100 series baggage cars had end doors which were useful for theatrical groups for end loading scenery and sets.
