Phil, I live in WA but work for a company that has an office in
Monterey, CA. It's a bummer trying to get there without a rental. Last
time I was there a few months ago, there was a story on the local
(Santa Cruz) news about possible rail being extended to MRY. What
route would that take? I assume it would be a route parallel to RT 17
from South bay to SC and then south as opposed to a route from Gilroy
west.

I see there is rail that goes through the old Army base, Fort Ord.
