Another siding/station which, after sitting alone, gradually begins to collect a strip of ag businesses on the south side before being reached by industrial Bakersfield from the southeast. Not a settlement, and not a notable rail point. Mangoe (talk) 20:50, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep While Saco did not have a post office Jewetta did, see also [1]. Search Newspapers.com found very little for Saco, though searching for "Seco Station" and "Jewetta Station" came up with more hits. GBooks indicates that there was a railroad station at Seco. Looking at non-WP:RS railfan discussion sites, it looks like Saco might have been a junction between two railroads, that there was at one time a rail yard at Seco that loaded oil cars, and that the railyard had been dismantled. I found very little coverage for Saco and Jewetta, all of it trivial. If it were not for the Jewetta post office, I would vote for delete. Please don't let my weak keep vote keep this article unless others agree that having a post office is sufficient legal recognition for #1 of WP:GEOLAND.

Delete A post office is not necessarily an indication of a community. This appears to be a run-of-the-mill rail station that also served for a time as a post office. Glendoremus (talk) 05:18, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
