Other flag stop "stations" on the Hudson Bay Railway to consider for redirects

Via Rail describes each of these as "sign posts" on the Hudson Bay Railway used by the Winnipeg–Churchill train. They have exactly the same characteristic as the Silcox station - there's nothing there. Satellite images show no populated places between Churchill, Manitoba (the north end) and the Fox Lake Cree Nation, served by the Bird station (flag stop), 262 km to the south. Bird is on Manitoba 290 near the Limestone Dam on the Nelson River. From north to south:

There are 1-3 equipment sheds on sidings at several of these flag stops but they don't look like "stations". A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 03:18, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still more flag stops heading south:

There are still more station articles for flag stops in the middle of nowhere south of Thicket Portage. They're for another day. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 03:33, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Via Rail guide to the route. Does not include the flag stops:

With this AfD converging on redirect, I would suggest that a close to that effect would justify bold WP:BLAR of all these to suitable best targets. Any reverts could then be taken to AfD. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I prodded a good number of them yesterday, some were deprodded, some were endorsed. Redirecting is fine with me. –dlthewave 12:59, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLAR seems reasonable given the absence of meaningful and significant objections at the AFD. Actualcpscm (talk) 19:50, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
