The track charts we have show both the old and the new mileages. For conversion to the new mileages, subtract 27.58 from the old higher values.

Notes

  • The track charts shown are clips of sections of one large drawing. For an example of an entire drawing see the Yarmouth rail yard.
  • Track chart clips are named by the the subdivision (HA, TR, KE, KI, WE, YA) and the mileage of the most prominent feature of the section from the Memorandum of General Information on the Dominion Atlantic Railway, Feb. 17, 1969, Dominion Atlantic Railway, Library and Archives Canada HE2810 D7 D7 fol..

  • Important note regarding stated mileages on Time Tables and Track Charts:
  • Up to 1918 (and perhaps before), Middleton was the zero point for the Yarmouth Subdivision indicated by subtracting the adjustment of 27.58 miles from Annapolis Royal. This makes sense when the W&AR only ran to Annapolis Royal meaning the Kentville sub ran to Middleton and from Middleton to Annapolis Royal was another sub. The track charts we have show both the old and the new mileages. For conversion to the new mileages, subtract 27.58 from the old higher values. The titles of the wiki photo pages indicate the new mileage for the Yarmouth sub but most the location titles on the drawings show the old. Many of the mileages in the Memorandum of General Information on the Dominion Atlantic Railway, Feb. 17, 1969, Dominion Atlantic Railway, Library and Archives Canada HE2810 D7 D7 fol. as well only show mileages to the 0.1 tenth but the track charts and quite a few time tables do show mileage to the 0.01 hundredth and these were used to title all the wiki Track Chart pages to the 0.01 accuracy.
  • Old and new mileages are shown on the track charts as circles and the lower values are the new mileages and the higher the old. Also interesting is that the charts from Bear River to Digby have the full height of the chart and show at the very bottom the surveyor chainage. In some of these charts in this section you will also notice revision made in 1926.
