Yes Art, you must be right.  Saturday night/Sunday morning would have 
been the only night with a long enough layover to leave the station. 
(About two hours as I look at an NKP timetable from '59)  I don't 
remember feeling rushed.  I think the diner was literally across the 
street and coming out of the depot having to cross a railroad track to 
walk over there.  Going back there was still time to look around the 
waiting room before getting back on.
