The Last Train To Clarksville

These are a few photos taken on “The Last Train To Clarksville.” It was a round-trip train excursion for hundreds of KHJ fans from Los Angeles to Del Mar (officially renamed Clarksville for the event). The Monkees arrived via helicopter in Del Mar and rode the train back to Los Angeles and performed live in one of the train cars. The event took place on September 11, 1966, one day prior to their TV premiere on NBC on September 12.
