On the 1912 map of Mount Robson by Arthur Oliver Wheeler [1860–1945] and a Grand Trunk Pacific Railway map from around 1912 there is an “Albreda” station between Tête Jaune Cache and Mount Robson.
The current Albreda railway point is on the North Thompson River.
GTPR Albreda, B.C. was renamed Rearguard on 23 June 1923, so as to not conflict with the former Canadian Northern Albreda, on the main line to Vancouver.
