Around 1907 to 1908, a station briefly existed south at Coburn. A decade later at Cassidy, a spur line connected to the E&N Railway, from where coal travelled by rail to Ladysmith. In 1919, the Cassidy train station opened, and was a flag stop when Via Rail on Vancouver Island ceased in 2011. Adjacent stops were about south to Ladysmith, and north to South Wellington. Immediately south of Vowels Rd, not even a signpost marked the flag stop location in its final years.
