[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Oh well, it looks like there is some curiosity being aroused on this point. WESO, some three miles to the East of Winnemucca, NV is shorthand for WE(stern Pacific)SO(uthern Pacific), or otherwise the Western end of the pre-merger joint track arrangement between the SP and WP. The Eastern end of the paired track was at Wells NV. Each road, WP and SP, had their own track roundly paralleling one another, however the two roads agreed to a paired arrangement whereby WB traffic of both roads was routed over SP, and EB over WP. I can recall doing a 1968 joyride Ogden-UP103-SLC-WP17-Elko-SP102-Ogden (surprise, it was Coach). The trains departed from different stations in Elko - just as does Amtrak today; IIRC, Mr. Smith, Blackjack table minimum was only $1.00. Well, if one had wondered why does Amtrak have two stations in Elko, "you now know The Rest of the Story". [/QB][/QUOTE]
