The sole non-GNIS source devotes a single sentence, just stating that it was named after a senator. This gives a little more, and says it was a rail station, contrasting it with several other locations the same source refers to as towns. I've seen a few news items from August 1929 referring to a fire starting at "Foraker station". Topos go back to 1918 and show nothing here. This is quite hard to search for due to the site bearing the name of a sitting senator, but I'm not seeing anything that would indicate that this location meets WP:GNG or WP:GEOLAND.

- delete Topos show a passing siding at this point on the now abandoned Milwaukee Road line, but no sign of anything there. Mangoe (talk) 22:16, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

- I cannot find any sources documenting this in depth at all. I found some railway timetables listing the station, and an argument that the Northern Pacific railway could serve it instead of the Milwaukee, and that's it. Uncle G (talk) 03:46, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
