"Cobre (Omar) was established in 1905 as the NN (Nevada Northern Railroad) northern terminus and interchange with the Southern Pacific. 1910 witnessed a population of 60 and arguably, Cobre's zenith, as it boasted three saloons. Over the next few decades the population declined together with passenger service. SP abandoned the station in Nov 1948 and the post office closed 31 May 1956, although ore shipments continued until the closing of the NN. A cinder block engine house built in the 1960s still remains."
