Dominion Atlantic Railway Coach No. 3 "Juno"
This wooden first class passenger car was built by Rhodes, Curry & Co. of Amherst, N.S. in 1893 for the Windsor and Annapolis Railway, just before the merger with the Western Counties Railway which created the Dominion Atlantic in 1894. Retaining the name "Juno", it became DAR No. 3. It was scrapped in Kentville 1937.

Dominion Atlantic Railway Track Crane No. 3.
This small self-propelled steam crane was used in the Kentville Rail Yards to move coal and cinders with a clamshell scoop. It often appears in the background of yard photos. After the demise of steam in 1958, it was parked beside the Kentville Roundhouse until it was scrapped in the early 1960s.
