Mojave and Tehachapi were created in 1876 when the Southern Pacific arrived. Recently the historic Tehachapi railroad depot was destroyed by a fire caused by two people playing with illegal fireworks on June 13th.
On Sunday, June 29, Mike Massee, president of the Mojave Transportation Museum, presented a $500 check to Friends of the Depot president Doug Pickard, and board member Carol Westover.
In  return, Pickard handed Massee a telephone from the old Mojave railroad depot. The phone will be displayed in the Mojave Transportation Museum when it is built.
To help the Friends of the Tehachapi Depot rebuild the depot, send donations to them at P.O. Box 2044, Tehachapi CA 93581-2044.
