Not sure if it was the same folks, but am pretty sure the same location in the mid 70's. I found that whomever the young lady was that was doing the sunbathing, would wait to hear us whistle off from the CC depot. She figured out the approximate length of time it would take for the train to arrive "for optimal viewing" and then just turn over onto her stomach with a strategically place towel.
I l;earned after one or two trips........to just leave without whistling off.
