Great American Railroad Journeys
Monterey to Los Angeles: ReversionSteered by his late 19th-century Appleton's guidebook, Michael Portillo continues through southern California aboard the Coast Starlight rail service. In the historic port of Monterey, Michael raises the Bear Flag of the one-time Republic of California and above it, the Stars and Stripes. He discovers the city's Spanish and Mexican heritage and traces how the former fishing port described as `stinking and decrepit' in John Steinbeck's novel, `Cannery Row', has become a beacon for tourists.
