The Barstow McDonald's has gone through several changes over the years. It was one of the first ones with a drive-through, one of the first ones open 24/7, and one of the first two-story (above ground) restaurants. They moved into the passenger cars several years ago, but have since rebuilt and enlarged the original building. I haven't been in there in a while but I think they kept a "satellite" restaurant inside the Barstow Station structure and are also using the outside building. I believe the "switch tower" was once part of the original building that pre-dates the passenger cars being placed there. Interesting complex.
