- Kelso is a ghost town and defunct railroad depot in the Mojave National Preserve in San Bernardino County, California, USA. It was named after railroad worker John H. Kelso, whose name was placed into a hat along with two other workers to decide the name of the town. The town was built in 1905 specifically as a railroad station along the rail line between Utah and Los Angeles, originally called "Siding 16," because of its location and nearby springs that provided abundant water. Starting off as what was a simple train depot in the 1920s, the town of Kelso boomed briefly to as many as 2000 residents in the 1940s, when borax and iron mines opened nearby. Gold and silver were also discovered in the nearby hills of what became known as the Kelso district. The town shrank again when the mines closed after about a decade. Kelso was a base of operations for the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, connecting track of Union Pacific Railroad, to which the SPLA&SL had negotiated trackage rights, with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway east-west line to the south. Here, trains were watered and "helper" locomotives were attached to assist the regular trains in climbing the steep . The distance between Las Vegas and the connection with the Santa Fe line at Daggett was too far for trains without a meal car, so Kelso was a convenient spot for a restaurant stop. The depot building itself was built in 1923 using a Spanish "California mission" building style. It contained boarding rooms for railroad employees and a restaurant for both employees and passengers. It also had a telegraph office and waiting room. Later, a restaurant nicknamed the "Beanery" that served home-style meals was housed in the building. The large rooms in the basement also served as a community center for local residents. About 1944 the railroad brought in an old strap-iron jail to detain local drunks. It is now on display just outside the Kelso Depot. The depot remained in operation until 1986. Left to the harsh conditions in the desert, the building began to deteriorate. By the mid-1990s the railroad was on the verge of demolishing the depot. Preservationists then stepped in to save it. In 2005, it was renovated to become the Mojave National Preserve's visitor center. The facility is currently closed for repairs. Reopening is anticipated for the Spring of 2023. During the 1970s Kelso was known as the town without television. About 75 residents lived in Kelso, many with school age children. Television signals could not reach the town which meant that residents found other methods of recreation. However, with the advent of satellite dishes, television was eventually introduced to Kelso. The ZIP Code is 92309 and the community is inside area codes 442 and 760. The Kelso Mountains are located north of Kelso, the Kelso Dunes lie to the southwest, and the entire area lies within the boundary of the Mojave National Preserve.

- Kelso è una città fantasma e una non più attiva stazione della ferrovia all'interno della nel Deserto del Mojave (Contea di San Bernardino, California). La città prese il nome da quello di un lavoratore impiegato nella ferrovia che vinse in una gara la possibilità di dare alla città il proprio nome. Da semplice stazione ferroviaria negli anni '20, grazie alle miniere di Borace e di Ferro, Kelso divenne rapidamente negli anni '40 una città con più di 2000 residenti. Oro ed Argento furono anche scoperti nelle colline vicine di quello che venne conosciuto come il distretto di Kelso. La città tuttavia si svuotò dopo circa un decennio con la chiusura delle miniere. Kelso fu la base operativa della Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad compagnia ferroviaria che oggi fa parte della Union Pacific Railroad. Nella stazione i treni venivano agganciati a locomotive di supporto che aiutavano il treno principale nel superare le ripide e vicine montagne denominate Cima Hill. Inoltre la distanza tra Las Vegas e la connessione con la linea di Santa Fe a Daggett era troppo elevata per i treni privi di una carrozza ristorante, per cui Kelso era anche una comoda fermata dove potersi ristorare. Il Kelso railroad depot dopo il restauro. Nel 1923, per questo motivo, venne costruito ad uso ristorante un edificio oggi storico in stile Spanish California Mission denominato Kelso Depot, Restaurant and Employees Hotel. L'edificio, dotato di Telegrafo e di sala d'aspetto, rimase attivo fino al 1986. Nel 2005 venne restaurato e riaperto al pubblico come visitor center della Mojave National Preserve. Negli anni '70 Kelso era conosciuta come la città senza la televisione perché il segnale televisivo non riusciva a raggiungere la zona a causa della sua remota posizione. A Nord di Kelso si trovano le Kelso Mountains, a Sud-Ovest le dune di sabbia dette Kelso Dunes. L'intera area è all'interno della Mojave National Preserve. (it)
