Laws Railroad Museum And Historic Site Tour - Laws/Bishop California
This video takes us on a tour of the Laws Railroad Museum and Historic Site in Laws, California which is a few miles outside of Bishop, California.
The museum is free to enter and focuses on railroad and mining history. There are 11 acres of indoor and outdoor exhibits as well as a mock up of a mine and mill.
We visited for at least two hours with Ron Morefield, who gave us a great demonstration of a couple hit and miss engines, plus the history behind several more engines, that are there at the museum. There is also the original depot and the Slim Princess, a narrow gauge train that served the rail stop at Laws. It is a great museum that will take at least a few hours to explore.
Here are links to two related videos about the hit and miss engines.

Brian returns to his home state of California, this time to the state's rural far east, to show you landscapes, history and culture, not typically associated with the Golden State.
In Part 2, Brian bids farewell to the Gold Country and sets off for the Eastern Sierras, traveling through the unusual Alpine County. The only county in California with no incorporated city. After conquering the scenic Monitor Pass, Brian arrives in the Eastern Sierras, at Topaz Lake. From there he travels to Bridgeport and Mono Lake. After failing to reach Obsidian Dome, Brian heads to the colorful hot springs of the Long Valley Caldera. From there he attempts to reach the mysterious columns of Crowley Lake, but the road once again has other plans. Brian has no choice but to abandon his mission, and proceed to his next destination, the old railroad town of Laws, where he gets to experience a bit of the local history.
