The map shows Weston which would suggest it was late 1879, Salt Works just as a stop...

The map is dated 1881 and obviously includes events that had already occurred in 1880, and were still being completed in 1881, such as the "Blue River Branch," which was completed to "Wheeler" in September 1881.  That being said, there is nothing unusual about old familiar place names continuing to be brought forward from previous map versions, even if those place names were already beginning to fade on the ground.
