I was told that due to California tax laws, they never ventured west of Barstow at that time (they were never seen over Tehachapi in 1966).

This appeares to be the old yard, opposite the old Harvey House. For the longest time, whenever I visited Barstow, I never knew this area was the "old" yard--I thought it was "overflow." But now I know--it explains what I see now when I go there.
