This view by C. K. Tuttle of a passenger locomotive # 211 taking on water at the Pacific Grove station.
This steam engine was built by Schenectady Locomotive Works in December of 1886 and was renumber to 1371 in 1891 and was scrapped on Jan. 5, 1918.
Aerial view of Pacific Grove showing the Depot and turntable.

In this photo in back of # 211 is probably the Del Monte Limited. The Del Monte ran from 1890 San Francisco to the Del Monte Hotel, and Monterey and to the end of the line in Pacific Grove.
Pacific Improvement Co. bought out the Monterey & Salinas Valley narrow-gauge on Sept. 29, 1879 and built a broad-gauded main line from Castroville to Monterey.
The last Del Monte train left Monterey for San Francisco on April 30, 1971.
