Among depots that were left vacant on the abandoned Grand Trunk Pacific Railway grade in 1917. Yellowhead burned down about 1918.

Bohi lists “Summit” and “Yelsum” as previous names for this station.

Possibly named after someone in the Urling family.

Named for its location at Tête Jaune Cache.

The current Canadian National Railway marshalling yard at Tête Jaune is named “Harvey.”

Esswein, W. B., Swift Creek
Faurnier, Benj , Swift Creek
Hawkins, J. W., Swift Creek
Wilson, Arthur, Swift Creek
Gibson, H , Syringa Creek

The Shere post office was open from 1923 to 1944 with J. A. McDougall [b. 1894] as postmaster. Less than ten examples of the cancellation mark are known in collections.

The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway station at Mile 117 (west of the Yellowhead Pass) was named “Rooney,” after W. J. Rooney, superintendent of construction in charge of the Grand Trunk Pacific Telegraph Service. In the 1930s Rooney authored several articles in the journal Terrestrial Magnetism and Atmospheric Electricity. As a member of the department of terrestrial magnetism at the Carnegie Institute of Washington, Rooney contributed a chapter on Earth-currents to Terrestrial Magnetism and Electricity (1939), volume eight of the Physics of the Earth series.

Sometime between 1918 and 1925 the station was renamed “Goat River.” The name “Rooney” appears on the 1925 CNR map.

During the construction of the GTP there was a hospital at mile 114 which was west of the bridge over the Goat River. The siding and Rooney station was one and a half miles west of the Goat River bridge.

Wrigley’s British Columbia Directory, 1918:

ROONEY: a siding on the G. T. P. Railway, 28 miles west of McBride, and 9 miles east of Loos. Local resources: Farming and prospecting.

Named after Henry Rider Haggard [1856–1925], a popular novelist who, in July 1916, travelled from Vancouver to Edmonton along this line, which the mountain overlooks.

During the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, Resplendent, or Mile 29 west of the Yellowhead Pass, was the end of steel in May 1912.

I left Vancouver on May 20th [1912], with a party of twelve men to survey land within the reserve on the south fork of the Fraser River, about fifty miles below Tête Jaune Cache. There are three different routes to get into this country, probably the most expeditious one being via Edmonton — the way we went. Taking from Edmonton, by special permission of the Railway Commission, we travelled over the Grand Trunk Pacific as far as the end of steel, which at that time was Resplendent, twenty-nine miles west of the British Columbia-Alberta boundary. Owing to the fact that the Grand Trunk has not been opened for traffic farther west than Hinton, 185 miles west of Edmonton, it was necessary to get this special permission before we were allowed to travel the remaining ninety-eight miles to the end of steel.
