- Lucky Baldwin was one of the great characters of Southern California history during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. He was a pioneer and real estate tycoon who owned the land that would become Arcadia, Monrovia and Baldwin Hills. With his vast wealth, one of the luxuries he indulged in was a grand railcar for traveling. Huell gets a special tour of this lavish car that housed a full staff, sleeping quarters, dining area, kitchen and music room.

We’re fortunate it was found and saved for future generations to enjoy. They don’t make things like this anymore.
This man Mr. Huell is so missed...
I grew up in Arcadia and "Lucky" Baldwin lore was all around. The Los Angeles County Arboretum contains Baldwin's Victorian era "cottage" and matching coach house complete with ginger bread decorative finishings. I am lucky enough to have been in both buildings. There was also a large railroad station along the Santa Fe main line called Santa Anita which is now inside the Arboretum. One day Baldwin was in San Bernardo and wanted to return home. He asked the station master for a ticket to Santa Anita. He was told the train didn't stop in Santa Anita. He immediately telegraphed his ranch foreman and told him to have his workers tear up all the Santa Fe track running through all of his property. The ticket master immediately sold him a special ticket.
JUST AWSOME
This episode was aired back in 2009
I’ve Been There
It’s Awesome
Just in Sylmar Ca..
great programing........... Huell Howser, CA Gold..
One small error in the description of this video: The grand railcar (a Pullman "palace" car) was purchased by Clara Baldwin, not Lucky Baldwin. She was rather extravagant and upon receiving her inheritance following her fathers death, she soon ordered the palace car from Pullman.
Correct, although they do describe the 'Pullman' purchase correctly during the video I believe.
10:19 “…she comissioned a car…”
25:14 It says, "Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad." I don't see why there's no AtchisDaughter, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad.
I went to 🏫 WITH a grandson of lucky .
That are code with the prefix (36) is QUESTIONABLE.
u bet that rail cart is hunted
Servants back then, and now, lived much better than the homeless people. How do you know Clara Baldwin had extramarital affairs? Were you peeking through her windows when she was alone with men?
This man is unbelievable ignorant - he his touching everything in this wonderful car, unterrupting the humble People who conserve this wonderful Piece so humble. A Little more appreciation for this work of art would help him a lot...
+Stephan L. Dear Stephan, your remark is quite disingenuous about the late Huell Howser who has given us all thousands of hours of really entertaining and informative videos. Do understand that he was one of the most respectful and intelligent interviewers in his field. The curators at the Nethercutt Museum make sure that any hand prints or oils are quickly removed from the surface. To better understand the contribution that Huell has made to the public, please do visit here: blogs.chapman.edu/huell-howser-archives/2013/01/07/in-memoriam
thank you for sticking up for the late mr. howser!!!!!! he was such a great and patient man, and will be missed very much by me and my peeps!
Train guys be like
He’s entertaining and I appreciate how much he introduced to people. It can be said that he gets excited in the moment and can show some accidental inconsiderate actions. I’ve seen a few episodes based on various restaurants and something he tends to do is point really closely to food that a customer is holding - he puts his hands so close to the food that he person about to eat it has to ask please don’t touch the meal/tray.
You're sitting at home, hating Huell Howser, and he doesn't know; he's out dancing, having a good time.
