Dominion Atlantic Railway Stations
W&AR Original Wood Stations ~1869
10 Stations were constructed for the original W&AR in 1869. In 1873, the MacNab report[1] indicated there were 23 stations and platform stops. Which stations exactly were of the original 10 are not known at this time but Kentville, Windsor and Annapolis Royal definitely were part of the original 10.
Large Stations
The only large station at the time was Kentville. Kentville was 74' x 32' in size. The station platform was 350' x 12' and on the freight station side the platform measured 260' x 12'. The two storey station housed the general office upstairs.[1]
The first recorded photo of the Kentville Station taken in August 1869, also showing the Freight Shed and Car Shop.
Medium Large Stations
Wolfville at 50' x 22' and Bridgetown and Annapolis at 50' x 20' appeared to be a lengthened version of the medium size station. The Waterville station had the same footprint as a medium station at 40' x 22' but had a residence built on the second storey.[1]
Wolfville Station platform of wooden station, Wolfville.
The first Annapolis Royal Station station, circa 1880.
Medium Stations
Hantsport, Grand Pre, Port Williams, Waterville, Berwick, Aylesford, Middleton, Lawrencetown and Paradise measured out at 40' x 22' with platforms 150' - 300' long by 11' to 13' in width.[1] From the photos we have, they all appear to be the same design. Interesting that Coldbrook although listed in 1873 as just a platform was in 1949 an original station like the rest in this size. One wonders if a few stations didn't get moved around.
