Hey TPC,
that railroad is the Old T&T railroad (Tonopah/Tidewater RailRoad), it was started on 1905 and completed in 1907. This part of history is something I have researched over the years. You should also check out the Mojave Trail. Awesome trail from Fort Mohave to Camp Cady (Approx 137miles) Great part of history with plenty of sites to visit. I took a family of 12 (4 vehicles) on a 3 day trek on this trail 10 years ago and I passed out handhelds and narrated the history of the whole trail.... They called me Wagonmaster/Chuckwagon....lol
Here is the site if you want to learn more about the T&T Railraod. Let the peeps at your camp think your a local history buff...lol

I had a group headed out this past weekend and as of 10pm last night still had NOT returned. No answers on the phone this morning either....Hmmmmm?
