Pequop or Pequop Siding is a ghost town in Elko County, Nevada, United States.[1] It was located west of Toano on the route around the north end of the Pequop Mountains between Cobre and Wells.[2] It was first a stop station of the Central Pacific Railroad and later a non-agency[3] station on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Several buildings were erected to house section crews.
