The text claims this as a "former stop on the Grand Canyon Railway", which I don't believe is true. It is on that line (and you can see MoW equipment and a huge pile of ties in the GMap aerial at this time), but I really doubt that the GCRY ever stopped there in the middle of nowhere. It was a siding on the ATSF, and is referred to a couple of places: for example, this AEC report describes it as an unstaffed ATSF station. Otherwise I get the usual geoclickbait and pictures of GCRY trains, and that's it. I'm not seeing the notability here. Mangoe (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

 * It's accurate, I put it there: see . There was at least a sheep ranch in the area. See https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/ for getting free access to newspapers.com. There are more hits mentioning it there so will probably pass but if you know me, I'm all for covering it in a main article rather than low-readership stubs when feasible.

 * Redirect to Grand Canyon Railway where it's already mentioned. It is detailed here (pdf file pages 17-18). Built for livestock and ore loading, it had a bunkhouse for workers but no evidence it was really a populated place. Pontificalibus 15:30, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
