Well as much as I would love to take a train to Monterey from either Salinas or if possible Santa Cruz, Carol is right. The ROW just is gone. You might get students at CSUMB to take a train home if there was a stop there, and some freight could be drummed up, but the days of trains to Pacific Grove are all seen in photos.
Unless you could convince Costco to provide parking, and a ecological bus service/monorail to the wharf could be provided.
If it was up to me I would restore the 0-6-0 at Salinas and use that to pull the train.
Either way, a lot of money needs to be found to do something, anything to rebuild it.
