Valley View Station was a stop on the Interurban Train Line between Lancaster and Waco. On November 2, 1912, Lancaster City Marshal Peter (P.M.) Solomon and Deputy Tom Ellis boarded a southbound Interurban Train in Lancaster after the conductor summoned them regarding a drunken passenger. After the train started, the drunk became unruly and Solomon arrested him. The three left the train at Valley View Station to catch a northbound train back to Lancaster, and as Solomon stepped out to flag down the northbound train with his hat, he was struck by the train and killed. Solomon was 56 years old and had served as Night Watchman for several years before being appointed City Marshal.
