One thing that has not been mentioned is the "Wye" at Castroville. The Army did have the balloon at Ord to turn trains but the east leg of the wye at Castroville was there into the 70s. It was south of the old depot and the rail finally was paved over. Later the crossing equipment was removed and then the track itself. If they needed a wye there was one at Spreckels and at Wat. Jct.
