This is the original station built by the [[Windsor & Annapolis]] Railway in about 1869. Judging by the loco in front it appears it is either [[DAR0016|No. 16]] or [[DAR0017|No. 17]] by the bracing on  the cab, the tender and the headlight. Both were Baldwins, built in March of 1892 dating this photo at least May of 1892 if it is No. 16 and May of 1893, it's build date if it is No. 17. Note the winter tarpaulin on the back of the engine cab. Of further interest is are the coloured stripes on the 3rd floor or the turret being clearly of two different colours. Nothing more is known of the photo except what was just supposed beforehand.

It appears that by the age of the loco and cars it is probably before 1900 and even more liekly the W&A. What is really intriguing is this great station. Where did this beauty go?
