Here we have something of a puzzle. Baker describes it as a post office; google searches produce a railroad liability case from the 1910s in which a girl boards a train here, though the earliest topo I could find, from 1963, shows no trace of a rail line. Another hit is for a grain elevator, and that is still there, or some similar business. But that's it, except for a single house next to the facility. It's very rare for a rail line to evaporate that entirely, so I'm not utterly convinced that these hits all refer to the same place; but all in all I'd say there is a lack of evidence for a settlement here. A rail station seems the best fit. Mangoe (talk) 15:44, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

• Delete the citogenesis in this one is strong... I can get a Bitcoin ATM, a sexual harrassment lawyer and all number of other things near Lochiel, which has been an article since 2009. The one thing you won't find anywhere near Lochiel is a citation. There's nothing there beyond, as nom says, a grain facility. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:06, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
