This photograph shows in one view the range of steam locomotives on the DAR from the big Pacific 4-6-2 to the little American 4-4-0. It was taken in early 1937 after the first Pacific and first D10 had arrived in Kentville and before they were painted in DAR colours. The locomotives from left to right are [[DAR2552|No. 2552 "Haliburton"]], [[DAR0999|No. 999 "Fronsac"]], [[DAR0544|No. 544 "Hebert"]], [[DAR0032|No. 32 "Blomidon"]] and [[DAR0025|No. 25 "Strathcona/Pontgrave"]]. The photograph is in the [[Kentville Railyard]] looking southwest, with the flagpole of the [[Kentville Freight Shed]] visible. It is one of two views taken that day, both by [[:Category:Edson Graham Photo|Edson Graham]].
