Ludlow

Name: Ludlow

Location: East of Barstow on old route 66.

Access: Paved roads, 2wd vehicles OK.

Comments: Named for William Ludlow, an employee of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, in 1883. In the late 1800s, gold was dicovered nearby and the town grew. Ludlow became a water stop for the Central Pacific, the Ludlow & Southern, and the Tonopah & Tidewater railroads. Few buildings still stand, lots of rusty old junk litter the area.
