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.
