Western American Railroad Museum in Barstow.

Yermo is just east of Barstow.

Bonding Drill.

1/6 of the date nail collection. Every company was different.

Remnant of a crash.

Outside displays.

How do you steal a locomotive, and how is this chain going to help prevent it?

The propeller-driven train - an experiment that failed.

Barstow.... one of those towns I've driven through a jillion times, but never stopped to take a look. Next time I'll have to get off the freeway and poke around. Thanks for posting!

You've got it the wrong way round, the train was put there to stop the chain and padlock from being stolen.
