Another rail station mistaken by GNIS as a community. Durham describes it as a locality on the Southern Pacific Railroad. This map shows it as a coal station where the old Empire Railroad crosses the SP rail. No evidence that it was ever a community of its own and otherwise not notable.

Delete. no post office. WP:STATION applies. The Empire railroad is possibly notable, though as it was a corporation short line, it should probably just go on a list. The Black Diamond Mines book cited in the nom has a map that shows Empire and some hits for the railroad, but nothing about the station other than the map. Searching newspapers.com was tricky and did not yield anything. Cxbrx (talk) 13:14, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
