Kentville Track Scale
From DARwiki
The Track Scale in Kentville was a 100 ton Fairbanks model scale, installed second hand in the 1940s[1] in the Kentville railyard on the south side of the mainline facing the Kentville Machine Shop. It was served by a 748 foot siding.[2] The scale remained in service until the south yard tracks were lifted in 1990. A larger track scale was located in Windsor.
