Milltown Train

THE MOHAVE MILLTOWN TRAIN

The Mohave and Milltown Railway was a narrow-gauge private railroad built in 1903* to serve the Leland Gold Mine near Oatman, Arizona, USA. The railway was incorporated in 1903 and construction of the 17-mile (27 km) line was completed that same year. The railway started on the Arizona side of the Colorado River, across the state line from Needles, California. From the Colorado River the railway went northeast through Milltown and terminated at the Leland Mine, Vivian Mine and the Midnight Mine (near Oatman). (see more)
