From the archives, we have the information for a CERA fan trip on the CA&E on July 4, 1956. The information was compiled by a young Robert Heinlein, who is still very active 52 years later.
If anyone remembers attending this trip, I'd love to hear from you! Please leave a comment.
Update: I'm adding a photo which I got from Al Simms. It's undated, and shows a fan trip using the 317 and one other car (316?). Note that at least one individual is breaking the rules, stepping right over the third rail, and there's another one beyond the train.

Well, at least the guy stepping over the 3rd rail appears to be doing it the right way....
