Removed place=hamlet "Dominion" from Longmont, CO

I’ve deleted OSM node 151352138 which was place=hamlet name=Dominion within the city of Longmont, CO.

It looks like this node was (automatically?) added to OSM based on USGS GNIS feature id 178314. This GNIS feature 178314 includes the following, my emphasis

  • Class: Populated Place
  • Feature code: Unincorporated Place
  • Description: railroad siding
  • Entry Date: October 13, 1978

I’ve lived in Longmont since 2008, and I’ve never seen or heard anyone refer to this location or area as “Dominion”. This GNIS “railroad siding” feature should never have been added to OSM as a place=hamlet. I checked current aerial imagery, and while there is a BNSF railway line nearby, there is definitely (no longer?) a siding near this location.

So in changeset 160974302 I’ve deleted OSM node 151352138 which was place=hamlet name=Dominion
