The Mohave and Milltown Railway was a narrow gauge private railroad built in 1903. The 17-mile railway hauled ore from the mines near Oatman to the mill at Milltown. The railway operated for only 1 year when several washouts in the fall of 1904 damaged 6 miles of the railway.

Micky's Gym from the Rocky Movies - ok - I have to admit - I had NO IDEA that they only used the OUTSIDE of this building (in Philadelphia of course) to depict Rocky's old training grounds - the rest was filmed in L.A. (which of course THAT gym was abandoned and now demolished).
