Louise Siding
If there was a demand, railway companies would build a siding between villages. Louise was one such siding, between Neelin and Holmfield. Note the sharp turn westward after the rail line crosses the valley at Neelin. They avoided the steep grade with a gradual climb up out of the valley, then turned south towards Holmfield.

Louise Siding is not on this map showing elevators in1911. Chances are it remained just a siding with no other services.
