This was the first intermediate stopping point on the north line out of St. John's and opened in June 1883, originally being named Poortwon and serving the small hamlet of that name which lies on the outskirts Peel. By 1885 it was appearing in timetables as Peel Road.  It remained a manned station as late as 1951, after which it became an unmanned request stop and the station itself closed.  It was accessed by a sloped path from the nearby road and at its northern extremity stands an overbridge carrying this road which remains in place today.  There was a low level platform which again remains in situ to this day and a grounded brake van body from E.X was placed here for use as a store room, lasting until the railway's final days of operation.  The station was still open as a request stop in the final season of 1968 after which it fell into disrepair and was destroyed by controlled fire by railway staff during the lifting in 1975.  Today the site is a footpath and the Supporters' Association are in the process of erecting a replica running in board here to denote the site as a former station.
