Non-notable location; ineligible for PROD because it was PRODded once before, and declined, because apparently this was the site of a train accident in 1916 that injured one person and resulted in a lawsuit: [1]. That source a) is a passing mention and b) specifically describes Gillis as a siding, and rail sidings are not notable (nor are they "unincorporated communities"). This is a clear failure of WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG. No other information found other than routine listings in rail tables: [2]. Nothing found in news. Satellite view shows an empty stretch of track in the middle of fields, with no human structures. And the bit about a fruitcake festival appears to be a snarky hoax, as a search for "Gillis" only turned up articles about people with that name, and "Gillis + fruitcake" turned up nothing at all.
