Berwick Station
Berwick's first station was a simple 40' x 22' structure, one of the medium sized stations built by the Windsor and Annapolis Railway in 1869.[1] It was replaced in 1888[2] by the standard Windsor & Annapolis gothic-window-style station, containing a waiting room and freight room separated by the agent's office and operator's bay. The freight room was later extended to the west. The station was demolished in the early 1970s and replaced by a simple VIA Rail shelter until the end of passenger service. A carefully researched model of the Berwick Station made by Ric Hamilton may be seen today at the Apple Capital Museum in Berwick.
