WE ALL love a Maccies, but instead of you bog standard local, you could head into one where there are dining train carriages.
Along one of America’s most iconic roads, Route 66, you will find a McDonalds like no other.

Barstow McDonalds in California is made from renovated train carriages and sits roughly halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
The restaurant opened back in 1960 and soon became such a popular spot that it needed to be expanded.
The destination then became Barstow Station, where several buildings are attached by several train cars.
Currently there are 17 train cars that make up the Barstow Station complex, four of which are now McDonald’s Dining Cars.

In 2013, Barstow Station McDonald’s also underwent an extensive renovation to make it more contemporary.
The location even still features a life-sized Ronald McDonald figure in the lobby.
Customers head inside the main restaurant to order, before walking through to the carriages where you can eat.
Inside the carriages, you can expect a barrel-roof with booths for seats and historic photos of the Old West and Route 66.
