| Notes | LUDLOW, CALIFORNIA Ludlow was named in 1882–83 for William B. Ludlow, a master car repairman for the Central Pacific. A chess game of railroading was going on between the Atlantic & Pacific and the Southern Pacific. One outcome of a double cross was the building of the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad to Death Valley. Water was hauled to Ludlow by tank car from Newberry Springs. The Bagdad Chase mine had to haul their ore to Barstow to be milled; this gave Ludlow considerable freight business. When water was discovered at Camp Rochester milling was done near to the mine. The T & T is gone along with the miners. Today Ludlow is a stopping spot for travelers over the desolate desert. – M.P. |
