This small station was built by The Hamilton & Dundas Street Railway (H&D) around 1910 on Emerson St to serve the then village of West Hamilton. The station remained in service with the H&D until September 5, 1923, when the line was abandoned. Aerial photographs show the station building was still standing in 1934, but had been demolished by 1943. Today, this is the site of Aitchison Lumber on Emerson.

Photo postcard of an HTC 1913 Preston-built radial car at West Hamilton station on the H&D at Christmas 1918. This photo postcard was actually used, but strangely enough it was mailed in 1949-more than 30 years after the photo was taken.
Two photos of passengers getting off HRER #302 at West Hamilton station in 1920. The people in the first photo are, from left to right, either Jim Jardine or Mr. Jennings coming down the steps, Stan Jones, unknown, David Searles, George Searles, Lizzie Prescott (Haye), three unknown, Flora Duffus (Huckstep), Mrs. Coope, unknown and Harry Filer. The second photo is taken shortly after the first as some of the people in the crowd are still there, and a second radial car has pulled up right behind #302.
