Come on folks! Let’s get Jeff and Sarah to 100k subs! This is a channel worthy of ANY history buffs attention! You won’t be disappointed. I promise, it’s a class act!
I thought it was cute when Sarah rang the bell. She didn't think it would work. And to her surprise it did. Then showed us how it did work. Funny how some towns change and others do not. Thanks for the tour.
If you watch out video on Fort Ross Sarah had the same reaction when she rings the bell there! Lol. I’m sure Barstow hasn’t grown all that much because of its extreme summer heat!
Pretty cool history. Loved Sarah jumping when the bell rang and grabbing it to stop it, then ringing it again. Got a laugh. Went to Calico over 56 years ago. Can hardly wait for the video.
What a great place in history. Would love to be able to go back to the 19th century. Thank you for sharing more places most of us would not get to otherwise see. Thank you Jeff & Sarah!
Wow!! Jeff you must have the Golden Ticket. I have been to the Barstow Harvey House a half Dozen Times & Never Caught it Open. That you got to go inside is Awesome. I've also been to Calico Ghost Town a half Dozen Times. I know that it used to be owned by Knotts Berry Farms. I Also Heard that it's Changed? I don't know if that's true because i haven't been there for years. I was just in Barstow 2 or 3 years ago & the Rancho Hotel was still standing. So sorry to hear that it Burned Down.
I'm from New England, so when I see places visited, from across the country, where I've actually been, I get extra excited.😁😊 Barstow, I found so interesting. I wish I had seen a video like yours, before we visited it, Jeff. Thank you for fleshing things out, so beautifully. I learned so much from you, right now... I can't wait for your coverage of CA's, Calico Ghost Town. The day we were there, it was mobbed. Thank you very much, Jeff and Sarah... great coverage 🤗🖤👏🤠
I loved this history lesson. We traveled through Barstow many times as I was growing up with my family traveling by car went through it on our way to and from Oklahoma to visit family and I’m very much interested in iconic towns along Route 66. It brings back such fond memories. Than you.
Great to see Sarah! Really look forward to new your new video releases Sundays! Love the CA history most of all! This has got to be the most excruciating 300 to go!
So nice to hear you say you look forward to Sunday video releases and that you missed Sarah. As of right this minute we have 205 to go! Yes the slowdown is baffling but we will hit 100,000 soon!
Hi Sarah and Jeff another fun and exciting history trip, I love it. Looks like Barstow is desert land for sure. I love all the nostalgia and old cars. Thankyou so much for another fun time to be with you all. I always look forward each Sunday to be with you both on fun trips. Stay safe, and God bless♥️💯👍💞🙋
Barstow is definitely in the desert, but I happen to enjoy the desert for its unique beauty. Of course it’s easier to make passageway through the Mojave desert in the winter time. Lol. Thank you so much for another wonderful comment coming from you in Oklahoma!
Great photos of the Harvey house and Harvey girls. Very important piece of western railroad history. I did not know that there was a railroad museum in Barstow and will have to visit! You’re one of my favorite local history channels. you do a great job on the editing and music neither of which is easy.
Now Barstow is I town I know, when I come to California it always starts in Barstow at little sisters truck wash to get the truck cleaned and polished but have toured the town and the ghost town up the road. Thanks for sharing Jeff and Sarah safe travels!
Wow... been blowing through there since 1975 when my brother moved from Santa Ana to Las Vegas... have only stopped for gas maybe a bite to eat... but I have been to Calico!! It’s been years and was just becoming a tourist attraction... can’t wait to see what you come up there!! Also don’t forget Erin Brokavitch! And Hinkley which you passed on 58.. hope Sarah warmed up quick!! Outstanding Job as always 👍👍
Thanks Sarah and Jeff for this interesting history. I'm an old railroad buff and enjoyed this entire episode. Originally from Kansas, I was happy to see the photo and history of Fred Harvey and the Harvey House in Barstow. I always look forward to your informative episodes. Thanks again and my best to you both.
@@jbenziggy Anything related to railroad history always sparks my interest. As a boy, I always went to the railroad to watch the steam engines. I love the old steam engines. It is always nice to see the Union Pacific and others run the old restored steam engines and passenger trains. It keeps that era of history alive for younger generations to see. Thanks again Jeff for another well presented history episode. I laughed when Sarah rang that bell for the first time and the look of astonishment on her face. You both are great.
It's so sad how things can change and just turn into abandoned buildings. I'm glad at least they are using that huge space though. Can't wait for the next!
This video brings back many old memories. In the late 60s I lived in San Bernardino as my wife and I explored the desert in countryside. We frequently drove through Barstow.
thanks for an informative video on Barstow. I have passed through there with out sightseeing too much. I am going to go back now for this history on this desert town.
At 3:43, the grey RR car in the left background was a "special". It hauled race horses. A large ramp at one end provided for loading/unloading them. Years ago I spent a night at a Motel 6 on Barstow's west side. Horrible night because it was close to the RR switching yard. Heard strings of cars being moved and attached/unattached all night long. My family came west to So. CA in 1950 (I was 5), and we travelled Route 66 in a 1948 Studebaker Champion.
Thanks again Jeff and Sarah for another great episode appreciate your hard work God bless you and your family have a wonderful week sending you all love
I always loved it when my trips to SoCal would include Barstow. Lots of history there. Tell Sarah the look on her face when that bell rang; Was priceless. Thanks for the memories.
You're right. When going from point A to point B you miss so much if you don't stop at towns like this. Thanks for a interesting video. Always enjoy seeing both of you.
This was a wonderful video. The Harvey House restaurants were interesting. I enjoyed joining you both on your trip. I am looking forward to the ghost town coming up.😊😊
Finally finished episode. Was struck down with the flu that's been going around. Good times! To bad things have to be abandoned so many times. Our family went to Calico Ghost town in the sixties. It was pretty neat back then. On to today's episode. Thanx!
Glad you all vlogged this. I always try to get through Barstow as quickly as possible when I am traveling from Las Vegas to San Diego so hitting the high points is welcomed since I would never have visited.
Always love when you get trains in your stories. Great video and one of my favorite places. Just a picky note. Santa Fe EMD 6307 was build by Electro Modive Division which at the time was part of General Motors. GM sold it to Catepillar and it is now called Eledtro Motive Diesel
One of the two hotels located on the Grand Canyon South rim has a fantastic, very interesting Harvey Museum. Some years ago AMTRAK ran a LA to Las Vegas route. I ordered Steak and Michelob in the dining car then everyone else did. Just like in the old TV commercial. They ran out of Michelob so the hostess called ahead pre cell phone days and the Budweiser delivery driver was on the Barstow train platform with several cases of “Mick.” Train made an unscheduled stop just to take on the beer.
Love the channel its so fascinating to see so much history right here in California I so wish that history class would have been as great as your channel have a good one
Im not sure how much it helps but quite often i will start their channel feed and just let her run for a full 24hrs nonstop all History Hunters all the time!! Yes they deserve 100 G and 100 g more..
Thanks Sarah and Jeff, another interesting video. You have spurred my curiosity about the Harvey Girls. I shall see what I can find today on the internet. A perfect activity for a day such as this....snowed in AGAIN in Grass Valley!
The Harvey House and Santa Fe train reminded me of the movie " The Harvey Girls" and of course the famous song from that musical "The Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe. 😇💕
I lived in Apple Valley 2002-09...what a culture shock from San Francisco. I think I had a birthday dinner in Barstow one year...I'm fancy like that. 😂💃🏼
Love that history, especially when it comes to railroad history! My wife and I would like to travel the entire Route 66 someday. Sorry that Sarah did not have the best experience at that hotel. Appreciate you two, looks like you will hit the 100K subs mark very soon. Look forward to your next video! 🇺🇲🚜👍
Wonderful video. Thanks again for the history lesson. That was so neat to see the Harvey House and the Train Museum. Congratulations to you and Sarah on the 100,000 Subscribers.❤
Jeff and Sarah, I really enjoyed your video and thank you so much for discussing Fred Harvey and the Fred Harvey restaurants. I live in Leavenworth Kansas and our historical County Museum has Fred Harvey's silverware. If you ever get a chance to go to Mount Muncie Cemetery, we also have the grave of Walter cronkite's mother buried there, and are only Kansas Resident was United States Supreme Court Justice is also buried there not far from where Fred Harvey buried. It is a beautiful cemetery and I go there quite a bit because my late mother is buried there. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful story.
Spent many days near Barstow CA when in the Army and training at Ft. Irwin. Coming and going from the railhead at Yermo we went there to stock up on pogey bait. I've also been to Calico Ghost town, I like the history there!
@@jbenziggy , you clearly invest so much research and heart into each production that I have very little to recommend for improvement. The only thing that bothers me is that Sarah’s attitude sometimes comes across as disinterested or bored, or in the case of this video, expressing negativity as the video opened.
Hi Jeff and Sarah thank you for sharing a wonderful video of your trip to Barstow and it was nice to see Sarah in the video enjoy watching this video thank you for the railroad 🛤 history love ❤️ and blessings Larry June and Laurie
Always enjoy your history videos Jeff! Enjoyed this one on Barstow…and speaking of Harvey history, I thought you were going to mention/tie in the 1946 film “The Harvey Girls” w/Judy Garland & Angela Lansbury..😉 Thanks again for all your interesting historical adventures!
So nice of you! Thank you so much. These videos are definitely work and take up a lot of time but the reward is knowing that thousands of good folks are enjoying them. Thank you.
I stayed in Barstow on one of my trips south. My motel backed up to a rail yard where they were building trains all night! No sleep! Thanks for the history!!!! Can't wait to see Calico 🤩
Come on folks! Let’s get Jeff and Sarah to 100k subs! This is a channel worthy of ANY history buffs attention! You won’t be disappointed. I promise, it’s a class act!
They are top notch people as well!!!
Thanks Dave! You’re the best!
It always windy here in Quartz Hill during the day then at nite it stops. Thank you both
True that!!!

Jeff would you fulfill my request by visiting the grave of john philip sousa please and you are a sweet person on youtube ♥️
I love old postcards, it’s cool to see what relatives wrote to each other way back when..
As a kid, I lived in Victorville & went to Barstow sometimes. From the 60's until now, not alot has changed. I enjoyed this video very much.
Awesome! Aren’t memories great to enjoy?
TT🎉🎉😢🎉😅yt@@jbenziggy
You guys are the closest thing to a Time Machine. Keep up the good work..
Wow, thanks! As always we appreciate the heartfelt feedback!
Another great episode, thanks for letting us tag along!
Any time! Thanks for joining us!
My great grandma used to tell me stories about riding the train from town to town back in the 20s. Always loved her stories
That's awesome. Those were the days, huh?
Very cool we still have a harvey's restraunt in Kansas city and their food is always good
I think we would all benefit from a slower, friendlier world! Great video again. Let's push History Hunters to 100k people! 👏😊👍
Absolutely! Thanks, Hans! We hope to be at 100,000 within the week!
Pretty cool history. Loved Sarah jumping when the bell rang and grabbing it to stop it, then ringing it again. Got a laugh. Went to Calico over 56 years ago. Can hardly wait for the video.
Thanks for showing us more of Route 66. It is on my bucket list to take more trips on that route.
You are welcome! It’s a trip worth exploring!
You deserve more subscribers, this is the best travel history channel on RUclips. I thank you most graciously sir and madam!
Wow, thank you! We agree.,, more subscribers needed!
What a great place in history. Would love to be able to go back to the 19th century. Thank you for sharing more places most of us would not get to otherwise see. Thank you Jeff & Sarah!
It would be interesting to travel back in time! Thank you for your nice comment once again, Wayne.
Wow!! Jeff you must have the Golden Ticket. I have been to the Barstow Harvey House a half Dozen Times & Never Caught it Open. That you got to go inside is Awesome.

Great to see Sarah!
Really look forward to new your new video releases Sundays!

Thumbs up. We also appreciate editing isn’t easy and can take hours of work per minute of content.
Thank you very much, Brian! We appreciate you acknowledging the hard work it takes!
You have got that right! Hours! Lol. Thanks so much!
Now Barstow is I town I know, when I come to California it always starts in Barstow at little sisters truck wash to get the truck cleaned and polished but have toured the town and the ghost town up the road. Thanks for sharing Jeff and Sarah safe travels!
Thanks for sharing! We will be safe!
Lovely bit of history and the video was amazing Thankyou Jeff and Sarah
I loved travel lodge and the sleepy bear.
Thanks for bringing back great memories.
I have been to Barstow when I was a OTR driver back in 1987 to about 1990, but never was able to tour the town. Thanks for the tour.
Retired now?
Thanks for sharing your Video on Barstow. Very informative! Thanks for sharing Jeff 💯❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
That brings back memories of traveling the entire Route 66 back in 1964. I was ten. Great trip. Thanks for taking me back there...
Our pleasure! Glad you liked this one!

Thanks guys! I could watch your channel all day long (and have 🙂). Keep'em coming!
Awesome! Thank you! I wish we could produce more for you to watch. Hopefully someday will step up the number that we put out each week.
Another FANTASTIC HH Vid Jeff and Sarah!!! Thank you for all you do to keep history alive!
Our pleasure! Thank you very much, Chris. We certainly are thrilled that you appreciate our videos so much. Sending our blessings.
It's so sad how things can change and just turn into abandoned buildings. I'm glad at least they are using that huge space though. Can't wait for the next!
Thanks Jennifer! And we want to say thanks for your donations in the recent past! It is a gesture that means a lot to us!
Love, love, love this. Thank you for showing this! Great job!!
Thank you so much, Lynne!
Another great video! I live history,! .uch simpler times!
This video brings back many old memories. In the late 60s I lived in San Bernardino as my wife and I explored the desert in countryside. We frequently drove through Barstow.
We will have to check that out. That’s for sharing.
If you are in that area it's worth a visit. I'm sorry that we missed the railroad museum right next door!
I enjoyed this, love all your videos, so interesting and well presented.
Thank you very much, Deborah! We appreciate that!
thanks for an informative video on Barstow. I have passed through there with out sightseeing too much. I am going to go back now for this history on this desert town.
Glad it was helpful! We probably missed a lot of great things in our brief time there! Thanks for the comment!
My dad was a dispatcher for the Santa fe and we lived in Barstow in the 60's and 70's
Sunday funday thanks for the surprise. And as always I enjoyed the video thanks for taking us on the adventure.
I recall in my youth watching the movie Harvey Girls, starring Judy Garland..😊
Yes! It’s based on the actual Harvey Girls!
At 3:43, the grey RR car in the left background was a "special". It hauled race horses. A large ramp at one end provided for loading/unloading them.

Thanks for watching!
This was a wonderful video. The Harvey House restaurants were interesting. I enjoyed joining you both on your trip. I am looking forward to the ghost town coming up.😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it, Pam!
Fred Harvey had the franchise for restaurants in the national parks. I suspect some palms may have been greased to achieve that exclusivity.
I’m sure a lot of favors were done by many men to get what they wanted from government officials! 😜
cool video! Nice to see Sarah again!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Leah! Tired of the rain up your way?
@@jbenziggy just put it this way.... we got a big boat and started loading up the animals in pairs... just in case...🙄
Another great video, it will make my next trip through Barstow more interesting.
Have fun, Brian!
Great information - I had no idea Barstow is such an interesting place.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks again for the history. My older brother was stationed at Edward Airforce base in the mid 60s.
Good Morning Jeff and Sarah thank you for the wonderful video. I always enjoy your videos.
Good morning! Thanks Michael!
You're both very welcome
Finally finished episode. Was struck down with the flu that's been going around. Good times! To bad things have to be abandoned so many times. Our family went to Calico Ghost town in the sixties. It was pretty neat back then. On to today's episode. Thanx!
Great Show Thanks
Our pleasure! Thanks Ted!
Love the Nostalgia!
More, more😊
Glad you all vlogged this. I always try to get through Barstow as quickly as possible when I am traveling from Las Vegas to San Diego so hitting the high points is welcomed since I would never have visited.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!!!
Always love when you get trains in your stories. Great video and one of my favorite places. Just a picky note. Santa Fe EMD 6307 was build by Electro Modive Division which at the time was part of General Motors. GM sold it to Catepillar and it is now called Eledtro Motive Diesel
Thanks for the info!
One of the two hotels located on the Grand Canyon South rim has a fantastic, very interesting Harvey Museum.
Some years ago AMTRAK ran a LA to Las Vegas route. I ordered Steak and Michelob in the dining car then everyone else did. Just like in the old TV commercial. They ran out of Michelob so the hostess called ahead pre cell phone days and the Budweiser delivery driver was on the Barstow train platform with several cases of “Mick.” Train made an unscheduled stop just to take on the beer.
Love the channel its so fascinating to see so much history right here in California I so wish that history class would have been as great as your channel have a good one
We are so glad that you enjoyed the video so we produce. Tell your friends about us so we can kick it passed 100,000 subscribers.!
Santa Fe 1460 is known as the BEEP. Named after the two different locomotives combined to make it,
Always love your history,Thank you so much Jeff and Sara, I travel from San Diego to Las Vegas back in 2010 , it was very hot in June
Glad you enjoyed it, Andrea!
Nice episode Sarah and Jeff thank you!
Thank you! We appreciate the positive feedback!
Im not sure how much it helps but quite often i will start their channel feed and just let her run for a full 24hrs nonstop all History Hunters all the time!! Yes they deserve 100 G and 100 g more..
That is such an honor thing that you do for us. Thank you so much and yes, the views do help RUclips promote our channels to others!

Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video. If ever I get through that area, I shall make a point to swing through there instead of just driving by!!!
Use to tromp around Barstow, Victorville, Adelanto, Kramer Junction!! Great area Jeff.
Love that history, especially when it comes to railroad history! My wife and I would like to travel the entire Route 66 someday. Sorry that Sarah did not have the best experience at that hotel.
