Even the place names books call this a rail spot, and they are the only sources of info besides GNIS and old topos, the latter showing a passing siding and nothing else. It's not a notable settlement or anything else.

Question Can you point to any guidelines governing notability of places like this? I'm not seeing them, but suspect we're not writing on a blank slate here. My inclination, when dealing with something historical, is to keep if we can find sufficient sources to write an article -- I don't worry very much about self-promotion when we're talking about ghost towns and the like. But there's probably a standard that provides more guidance than that...

Delete I find stray mentions of the place in books, but nothing that indicates it was a notable settlement historically (or at least outside of similar abandoned sidings in aggregate) and it certainly ain't now. Doesn't meet GEOLAND.
