Mistakenly called a community solely on the basis of of the unreliable GNIS database. Durhams calls it a locality on the Northwestern Pacific RR which usually implies that it was a railroad station, siding, stop, or some other rail facility. No other evidence that this was ever a community and no indication that it is otherwise notable. Glendoremus (talk) 04:06, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
