[2] Wellington station is one of the oldest and most historic stops on the Southern Railway of Vancouver Island Mainline.

The current flagstop site and siding, still in use today, are where the Wellington Colliery's scale was located for weighing the coal the miner's produced.

In the early-mid-20th century the heavy mechanics work was relocated to Victoria and Wellington become a minor stop on the E&N which had been expanded further North and West.

In 1966, the building was purchased by the Wellington Centennial Committee from the CPR,[5] and moved to the southeast corner of Pioneer Park.

[7] The current flagstop is a few hundred feet south of the original station and colliery weigh scale and is marked with a simple sign.
