The Barstow Flyer

During the Barstow Railfest Oct 16-18th, 2009 a special train, dubbed "The Barstow Flyer", made a round trip out of Los Angeles on Saturday the 17th.
These pictures were captured while the train was parked at Barstow's famous Harvey House, the Casa del Desierto. The train consisted of an Amtrack P42DC number 23, an Amfleet Coach, AMTK 82580, and four private cars, the ex-B&M Salisbury Beach (Pullman6-4-6 Sleeper), the ex-SP Overland Trail (Club Lounge), the ex-CB&Q Silver Splendor (Vista Dome Diner),  and bringing up the rear of the train the ex-CN business car Tioga Pass.  For websites of each private railcar, click on its individual picture.  All photos © 2009 Jim Fuhrman, all rights reserved.
