History
Elko was originally served by two train depots along two separate lines that ran through the downtown area.[2] As the two lines were operated in a directional running setup, westbound trains used the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) depot at 684 Railroad Street and eastbound trains used the Western Pacific Railroad (WP) depot at the corner of 3rd Street and Silver Street.[3] The federal government funded a $43.5 million project to relocate the railroads to a grade-separated corridor along the Humboldt River, which was also rechanneled.
