Matt's DAR update

Post by downeastrailfan »

I went to Yarmouth over the weekend to visit my family. While there, I finally found the DAR wye, thanks in part to Harold's map. The weather was lousy for photos, so I'll take some during my next visit. The north or railway east leg of the wye is a sewer line, so its easy to find and walk. The south or railway west leg is covered in brush. The outline of the wye is pretty easy to spot, as it is backed by a subdivision. The houses and street follow its contour.

The big bridges at Weymouth, Bear River and Clementsport survive. Perhaps the province has held off on the dismantling project to save money.

I stopped by the Memory Lane Museum as well. Found a few new (to me) images. At some point, I might make a day trip there and do some scanning.
