Passing mention as a railroad stop here. With only passing mentions to be found, almost all of which call this a minor railroad stop, I don't think this one is notable. Coverage is not significant. Hog Farm Talk 18:56, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Yes, even without looking the fact that it's on the "Horrock station road" is a good indicator of what it is. The easy fix for that would be to change "is an unincorporated community" to "was a railway station".  This takes us over the initial hurdle for these GNIS articles.  We know what it even is.  But about all that I can find out about it, from an old 1986 issue of Chesapeake and Ohio Historical Magazine which I can only see the index matches for, is that it is a flagstop on a Chesapeake and Ohio freight line.  That simply isn't enough verifiable information to expand to a full article, if no-one can do better.  This is non-notable. Uncle G (talk) 10:13, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Described as a "small town beyond Ronceverte" in 1906. . But more clearly described as a "small flag stop" on the railroad in 1909. .  Passing mention to Horrock Station in 1921.
