Surprisingly, another searching problem, between the ham on one side and the place in Idaho on the other. The placenames book cited leans toward the interpretation that it was a rail spot that never got going as a town, and that's pretty much what the topos and aerials say. Other than that, all I have is some references by the state railroad commission. Mangoe (talk) 14:22, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seems it had a post office at one time per this source. Vsmith (talk) 00:57, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rail spots commonly did. A post office is not, however, a town. Mangoe (talk) 01:23, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Another one of the ongoing debates over railroad stops that were briefly also considered rural unincorporated communities. The colorado place name book admits now it is only a railroad siding[1]. There were plans to make it a full town in 1903[2], but plainly that didn't come to fruition.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 12:45, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Milowent, if it is only a rail siding and not a GEOLAND-compliant populated place, why argue for keep? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 12:41, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Plans for a town do not appear to have come to fruition; this was never anything more than a rail stop. –dlthewave ☎ 18:25, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per nomination. Places on railways are not notable by default.TH1980 (talk) 02:33, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. The article does not have much importance and useful information as a rail spot. Timothytyy (talk) 07:53, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete clearly fails WP:GNG, couldn't find a single article about it. Idunnox3 (talk) 23:21, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
