Component Not Loading with VueRouter Locally. Works in Production - vuejs2

Question

Sorry if this an easy question, but I temporarily inherited an app written in node.js / express and a Vue 2.5.2 frontend. I cannot get a specific route to work locally in my test environment that works in the live environment.
Say we've emailed a user a link. When they click on it, it's supposed to open this specific Vue component. But it just loads the home page; 200 status.
Here's the relevant part in the node/express SPA:
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
return res.render('index.ejs', { has_token: false });
});
app.get('/token/:token', (req, res) => {
return res.render('index.ejs', { has_token: true });
});
It sets the has_token variable. Here is the relevant Vue part in the SPA:
new Vue({
el: '#app',
components: {
LandingPage,
Register,
Home
},
router,
store,
created() {
if(has_token) {
console.log('has token'); # WE MAKE IT HERE
this.$router.push('/TokenRegistration');
}
...
...
Here is a snippet of the routes created
const routes = [
{
name: '/',
path: '/',
component: LandingPage
},
{
name: 'Register',
path: '/Register',
component: Register
},
{
name: 'TokenRegistration',
path: '/TokenRegistration',
component: TokenRegistration
},
And them being loaded
const router = new VueRouter({
routes
});
Sorry if this is an easy question, but I haven't used node, express or VueRouter before, and this is the only thing stumping me. I double checked and made sure both environments have their repos in sync and rebuilt the app and reboot the node service just in case.
Summary:
In production, I go to .com/token/<some string> it loads the specified component TokenRegistration.
In local dev, I go to .com/token/<some string> it just loads the home page LandingPage Component
And there are no JS errors; page load 200 success.
