Duplicate of Lamprey station. The "history" is a generic description of the Hudson Bay Railway. –dlthewave ☎ 14:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the associated census district 23 - please see the very lengthy station-by-station analysis of stations and associated “towns” on the railroad to Hudson’s Bay that I posted previously at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Silcox station. I spent hours researching the points along this line. This location is a signpost in the middle of deep boreal forest and bogs. There’s no town. It’s many kilometers from any settlement. The flag stop serves the occasional canoeist or trapper. Look at it on satellite imagery and you can see there was never anything there.

The station should be redirected to the article for the train.

I don't believe that the location and station are separate entities to be directed to different targets. They use the exact same sources (Geographical Names Data Base and VIA Rail) which only mention the rail point/station. I think that these are all duplicates that should be redirected to the railroad if not deleted outright. –dlthewave ☎ 14:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Lamprey station or Redirect to same, or Delete all seem reasonable options. My preference order is given. ++Lar: t/c 14:39, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
