=========================
With the Del Monte's schedule, didn't the equipment lay over in the daytime in San Francisco? Perhaps they filmed it in the morning when the train was regularly scheduled to depart Monterey. I think by 1961 the train was no longer going to and from Pacific Grove, at least in revenue service. Maybe it was still going there for maintenence purposes and for turning the train / power.
