Summary

The tracks of the Halifax & South Western Railway at Bridgetown, looking east from the Jeffery Street level crossing towards the Bridgetown section tool house, photographed by Stephen Archibald, Summer 1965-1967.

Description by Stephen Archibald:

"I believe it would have been after Victoria Day in 1965, 66, or 67."

"Bridgetown industries were served by the Halifax and South Western Railway that crossed over from the south shore at Middleton. Only one or two freight trains a week came to Bridgetown, which was the end of the line. We would walk along the rails on our way to pick blueberries."[1]
