After the 4.5-hour train ride to Bakersfield, I'll transfer to an Amtrak bus to Baker that will take four more hours.

The Stockton train station is located in a decayed industrial area that gets very little pedestrian traffic.

Heavy metal bars on the train station's windows and doors suggest that it's a high-crime area.
