Nostalgia & History > Going down Monterey way - in steam and dieselDate: 09/29/06 13:27 Going down Monterey way - in steam and diesel Author: rswebber A branch and passenger train that died about 5 years too soon - and I can only imagine what those folks in Monterey and Carmel would say if the Del Monte could bring those people in without their cars today - though they likely wouldn't want it going through their ocean front property! Stand just east of the Aquarium and look North down the bike/walking path and you can see the ROW for miles...
SP 2547 on July 6 1955 at Fort Ord SP 52xx near Monterey July 6, 1955 Date: 09/29/06 13:33 Re: Going down Monterey way - in steam and diesel Author: agentatascadero Looks like shot #2 is right at the Del Monte tunnel curve, before the tunnel, of course. AA
