Yes, even without looking the fact that it's on the "Horrock station road" is a good indicator of what it is. The easy fix for that would be to change "is an unincorporated community" to "was a railway station". This takes us over the initial hurdle for these GNIS articles. We know what it even is. But about all that I can find out about it, from an old 1986 issue of Chesapeake and Ohio Historical Magazine which I can only see the index matches for, is that it is a
flagstop on a Chesapeake and Ohio freight line. That simply isn't enough verifiable information to expand to a full article, if no-one can do better. This is non-notable.

Ronceverte" in 1906.
[1]. But more clearly described as a "small flag stop" on the railroad in 1909.
[2]. Passing mention to Horrock Station in 1921.
[3] Passing mention as a railroad stop
here. With only passing mentions to be found, almost all of which call this a minor railroad stop, I don't think this one is notable. Coverage is not significant.
