Subdivision Weston

History

Started in 1910, the 14.5 mile Weston Subdivision was completed in 1914. It was officially known as the North Mountain Railway, but often called the North Mountain Line or the Weston Line. It was known collectively, with the Kingsport Subdivision, as the CVR (Cornwallis Valley Railway).

On January 31, 1961 the Weston Subdivision was abandoned as the CVR was reduced to a spur from Kentville to Mill Village.

On September 22, 1993, CP Rail formally abandoned this 2.3 remnant spur as part of the abandonment of the 4.3 mile Kentville Spur from mileage 56.1 of the Halifax Subdivision to the end of track in Coldbrook which included the 2.3 mile Kingsport Spur from mileage 56.1 of the Halifax Subdivision to the end of track in Mill Village (Steam Mill).
