Tacoma, on secondary road 233, about 15 miles northeast of Montello, was a railway depot near the Utah border. It was a maintenance stop and shipping point for the Central Nevada Railway during the silver boom, and had about 100 residents. In the early 1930s Montello became the important railway stop, and Tacoma was abandoned. Today, little remains except garbage, old glass and some foundations. It is a true Elko County ghost town.
