Kidd (railway point), British Columbia

Kidd Station, existed 3.7 miles (6.0 km) southeast of Dome Creek in central British Columbia.

The flag stop both predated and outlived its namesake 12.5 miles (20.1 km) west of Chilliwack on the BCER.

[9] The Railway Commission having handed over control to operate this section, the first GTP passenger arrived at Mile 141 that month.

[11] Months later, a mechanical defect derailed 19 cars near the middle of a 120-car freight train between Kidd and Urling.

[12] Built in 1914, the standard-design Plan 100‐152 (Bohi’s Type E)[13][14] station building was demolished in 1953, and replaced by a GTP era freight shed conversion, which was in turn removed before the 2000s.

[56] Teachers included Marjorie Giles,[57] P. Haslam (probably Pearl),[58] Elsie Eccles,[59][60] and Nancy Sanders.

& Annie (1877–1949)[64][65] Cattle, and her son, William (Bill) Haws (1904–69),[66][67] resided on Lot 3281[68] 1910s to late 1920s.

[69] Mary Josephine (Josie) Weaver (1912–99),[70] a local section hand's daughter,[71] married[72] Bill, and the family later lived at Hutton and Hansard.

[78] Early farmer/trappers included F. Martin (Deafy) Dayton (1886–1940),[79] George Logan (1873–1950)[80][81] on Lot 3281[68] 1915–50,[73][82] Peter Loftstrom throughout the 1920s,[83] and the Jensen brothers.

In an environment with limited eligible females, Martin Dayton's attempts to find a bride[84] appear unsuccessful.

[73] Ernest H. Jensen (1890–1966),[93][94] the first brother to arrive in the area, was a hunter, who sold the meat to the railway construction camps.

[97][101] During the 1966 CNR strike, Arne took Susan Hale (see #SHale) and her mother upstream on a four-hour boat trip to Crescent Spur, where his passengers completed the remaining 35 miles (56 km) by truck, so that Susan could reach McBride for the beginning of school term.

[155] During the 1925/26 winter, W. Allan Goodson (c.1870–c.1926),[156] who worked traplines in the wilderness from Prince George along the Robson Valley, went missing.

Emmet Baxter (Shorty) Haynes (?–1953) guided the initial police search to the subject's cabin, which was in an area 17 miles (27 km) upstream from Dome Creek (probably closer to Urling) on the Fraser.

Comments Goodson had previously made to James Stewart at Dome Creek, and notes in his cabin, indicated that Haynes had threatened his life.

[157] Five years later, when Haynes was two weeks overdue in checking in at the Dome Creek post-office, concerns arose as to the popular trapper's wellbeing.

At a secretive meeting of trappers at Dome Creek, Haynes volunteered to deal with the matter, but because of his popularity, nobody snitched on him.

[160][161][162] Robert Blangy accumulated a record for theft, escape from custody, imprisonment, impaired driving and fines.

[163] His sibling Ernest amassed convictions for forgery, assault, public intoxication, possession of stolen goods, theft, and impaired driving, without a licence, insurance or due care.

[164] For opening an exit and leaping from a westbound train between Snowshoe and Kidd in 1943, Joseph Gouchier, of Penny, received a three-month suspended sentence.

[165] In 1948, Harvey Paulson, Gordon Whelan and William Oleksiewich received paid train tickets from Edmonton to Kidd, and board and supplies, but refused to commence work.
