Topos and aerials both show this to be a rail location gradually filled in around by creeping urbanization but originally standing in complete isolation. That's what the Ghits say too, and I find no references to it either as a settlement or as a neighborhood beyond the usual clickbait. What's particularly special about this one is the history section, which is entirely based on a careless reading of one source. All of the history given here is for Richland itself; the NP history passage is not that well-written but common sense leads to the correct reading that it is about Richland itself. Anyway, not a notable place. Mangoe (talk) 15:13, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As the nom pointed out, the history is that of Richland itself. There's no evidence that the rail junction holds any significance in its own right. –dlthewave ☎ 05:01, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Richland Junction is the former name of the city of Richland, Washington according to the article. There's nothing else here. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 20:42, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
