In 1906, 40 acres were set aside for a townsite, where a one-room schoolhouse and quarters for a teacher were built. The railroad maintained a crew bunkhouse and quarters for the section foreman’s families. Trains stopped here 20 min. - 1/2 hr. to cool the brakes after a steep decline from the Town of Molson, and some said you could see the red glow of the brakes on the passenger trains from Oroville. The 28 mile trip to Oroville took about 1 1/2 hours and cost .99 cents. About 1932 everything was abandoned, leaving only memories.
