Insignificant railroad flag stop. Literally just a post along the tracks with no significant coverage to establish notability. –

Comment. Like other flag stop stations that are today only a signpost, this was probably a staffed building 90 years ago in an era when more people were needed to run a railway. I can't easily confirm this, but I suspect that this is a case of "Once notable, always notable". Even if the present-day appearance is unimpressive, it probably was once notable. Eastmain (

These flag stops are in the middle of goddamn nowhere in the Canadian tundra. There never were settlements or much of anything. These speculative and assumption-filled comments really aren't helpful. If it's notable, can you present even a single shred of evidence?

Redirect seems sensible. I do understand once-notable, always notable, but sometimes an individual article isn't the best way to present information to our readers. If there is nothing to say about this stop except that it exists, we can do that more efficiently in the form of a list at the main railroad's article. I'll change my view if anyone finds interesting stuff to say about it.

Redirect. Some VIA Rail stops are notable so all of them should be blue links, with those that aren't individually notable being redirects to a list or some other appropriate target.

Redirect - please see the very lengthy station-by-station analysis of stations on this line that I posted previously at
Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Silcox station. I spent hours researching this line. This location is a signpost in the middle of deep forest. It’s kilometers from any settlement. It serves the occasional hunter or trapper. Look at it on satellite imagery and you can see there was never anything there.
