Topos show a rail siding here, not a settlement, so not a notable place. Mangoe (talk) 05:41, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this was more than a rail siding. It appears the location on the train tracks used to be a settlement and is now a ghost town (see photos of abandoned buildings here, and may also be independently notable as the site of a WWII training airfield [1]. Furthermore, a quick look at Google satellite today shows multiple currently inhabited homes and RVs south of the rail siding, in a community that appears to identify itself as Forepaugh (as evidenced by the Friends of Forepaugh adopt-a-highway sign on the way in). The fact that the place name appears on a road sign beyond just a street name puts it a category above other western rail sidings that were never anything more.
