In 1920, the Canadian National Railway built a fourth-class station (CNR Plan 100-68) at Marchand in the Sprague Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of La Broquerie, replacing an earlier structure from 1898. Insulated in 1938 and stuccoed in 1940, it was sold in 1968. The building was moved to Badger in the Rural Municipality of Piney where it is used as a private cottage.
