History
In c. 1940, the population of Weso was 15.[3]
Both Southern Pacific Transportation Company and Western Pacific Railroad operated railroads through Northern Nevada, with stations in Weso, with both operating independently until their acquisitions by Union Pacific Railroad in 1996 and 1982 respectively.[4][5] The tracks are also currently used by Amtrak's California Zephyr.
