Colonel, obviously Mr. Grice's photo establishes there was a two car train at Penn and the above link establishes that the Philadelphia Orchestra performed at Carnegie Hall same date.
But with 100 resident musicians, various support personnel, the maestro, and other hangers on such as those folk that pop $250 kilobucks and more a year and like to hob nob with "the help", I doubt if that train handled all concerned. Orchestras have highway trailers especially fitted with "DF" compartments for each instrument transported separately from the musician.
Having attended eleven concerts this year, seven of which had ensembles "on tour", more than 128 seats are needed to handle the whole "kit and kabudle".
