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