Can't help you out with the dates on your slides, but Southern Pacific operated a two-day "Farewell to Steam" excursion from Oakland to Reno, October 18 - 19, 1958.
Don't know if you can access this if you are not a member, but this Trainorders thread has further information (and many links) on the 4460.
