Lindup, between Longworth and Penny, existed on the northeast side of the Fraser River in central British Columbia.

The name, an early medieval English surname,[3] was possibly selected from the list prepared by Josiah Wedgwood (submitted at the request of William P. Hinton, the railway's general manager).

[13] The following year, a fire burning on both sides of the tracks from Hutton to Guilford threatened the station building and the railway dispatched a crew to protect the company property.

[14] While attempting to board a railway cable car at Lindup, Wesley Goheen (1910–78),[15][16] a work train employee, slipped and a wheel crushed his ankle.

[42] When Steve married Helen Petro,[43][44] the couple initially lived at Lindup, but soon relocated to Sinclair Mills.

[52] In 1952, when a westbound passenger train smashed into two boxcars at the siding, the impact shattered the empty one and extensively damaged the partly loaded one.

[94] Unable to settle his business debts, the remaining cedar poles stacked at the siding were seized and sold by sheriff's sale.

Milling the high quality spruce from north and east of the railway line, he subcontracted to Charles Howarth of Guilford Lumber to supply planks for the podium used at Queen Elizabeth's 1953 coronation.

[101] Children attended school in either Longworth or Penny, a four-to-five-mile (6.4 to 8.0 km) walk each way for most students.

[105] When Penny, a settlement and station not originally planned by the GTP, took root, it shadowed Lindup's future.

Wildlife had torn apart the victim, a former Penny relief camp resident, who had apparently committed suicide.

[113] In an unrelated offence, Kobra was sentenced to two months hard labour for relief fraud during 1931.

In the summer of 1938, a transient walking the railway track started a forest fire between Longworth and Lindup, prompting a precautionary temporary evacuation of the latter.

The blaze quickly spotted, a crew of 100 volunteers (largely drawn from Longworth) brought it under control.

[118][119] Inhabitants built a road alongside the railway track and a ski hill at Mile 74, both of which fell into disuse.
