Another railroad facility incorrectly called a community by GNIS. Durham calls it a locality along the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railroad. It looks to be located in an industrial section of Martinez Ca. Maltby was a prominent citizen of Martinez and an early promoter of the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern Railroad, so it makes sense there would be a rail facility named after him [[1]]. There never was a community called Maltby. There are no hits when searching for anything indicating a former community. Aerial photos show a rail spur in an industrial area.

Speedy delete Fails WP:V and WP:N that this is actually a notable community. Reywas92^Talk 18:28, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
delete I found a 1950s topo which labels it "Maltby Siding", and that's exactly what all of them show: an isolated siding near a tank farm. Mangoe (talk) 04:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
