The train goes through miles of orchards, as far as the eye can see, and you see rural California as you have never seen it. Watching the climate and dirt change as one goes southward is fascinating, and don't count off Bakersfield. In spite of the bad air, there is a fine art museum and a number of good cafes in the downtown historic area, well worth a visit.
