I just ran across a web page that reports that there's a DAR caboose at Maitland.
"That afternoon I drove out towards the eastern end of Minas Basin. For a time the road paralleled a former railway right of way, its surface gravelled for pedestrian and cycle traffic. At Maitland I discovered a former Dominion Atlantic Railway (DAR) caboose mounted just off the right of way. I parked and followed the roadbed for several kilometres, until I came to where a long trestle with a swing section had crossed the Schubenacadie River. Only the stone piers were left standing, the deck having been removed. The water was tidal, thick with the gooey red clay that makes up that part of the world."

Re: DAR Caboose
Someone who got one for free from CN long after the DAR and CP ones were gone or not feasible to move. It is being used as a local tourist information centre IIRCSTEM wrote: So.. does anyone know about this? Who the heck took a CN caboose and lettered it DAR?
