We drove about a 1/3 of the middle of the Mojave Road:

We camped the 2nd night near the Beale mountains.

Bert Smith Cabin
Rock Spring
Goffs and the Mojave Desert Heritage & Cultural Association

In Bagdad we found this engine on a siding. The door was unlocked, we took a peek inside. The engine was not running, everything was turned on and ready to go:
Then we located Mrs. Orcutt's Driveway:
We finished the trip with Dinner at the Bagdad Cafe in Newberry Springs:
