If you've been following these discussions of Lassen County places, you'll recognize that "located on the Southern Pacific" is not a good sign, and indeed, this is yet another ex-Nevada-California-Oregon Railway siding/station, in this case with the slight bonus of a turning wye. It rails are gone, of course, and what's left is some ballast and a lot of empty land. I cannot find any mention of the place other than an extremely passing reference in Gudde and the usual railroad regulatory material. But no mention of anything that would suggest a town, which isn't surprising: the line was abandoned after the SP/UP merger precisely because building a narrow gauge line through the region attracted almost no settlers.

Delete It clearly used to be some sort of rail facility. Nothing to indicate it was ever a community. Couldn't possibly pass basic Wiki notability. Glendoremus (talk) 19:28, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
