Another railroad station mistakenly identified as a community by GNIS. Durham calls it a locality on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. Other references call it a rail facility but no indication that it was ever a community. Except for the name, no evidence of basic notability (and recall, notability is not inherited.

Keep This location is closely associated with the
John Muir National Historic Site. Author and environmentalist
John Muir was a successful commercial fruit farmer in the area, operating as a partner in the 2600 acre ranch begun by his father-in-law
John Strentzel. This is the site of the 14 room family mansion that still stands today. In 1897, Muir donated the right of way to the railroads coming into the area to improve his access to markets, and one of his daughters was fascinated with the dramatic railroad trestle that was built there in 1899, and the trains and their crews that passed by. The station there was named for Muir, and this is the locale where he wrote most of his famous books, founded the
Sierra Club and succeeded in bringing
Yosemite National Park under federal control. Muir and his family lived in the mansion from his father-in-law's death in 1890 until his own death in 1914. It is discussed on this
National Park Service web page. This article should be improved rather than being deleted.

I'm going to have to go with delete as I don't think merely being named in Muir's honor is enough to justify an article; it's another two-sentences-in-his-article thing. There's clearly no settlement here, in any case.
