Digby Wharf

Post by Paul Charland »

Hi All,

Anyone know when the track was taken up from the wharf in Digby? I thought the nice areal shot of downtown Digby that shows the yard and wharf was from 1977 but it has to be earlier then that as the old ferry terminal is still present. When the Princess of Acadia II was introduced the terminal building was demolished and a new much smaller one built, I would think this might be when the tracks were removed or it might even have been earlier then that.

Hi Paul:

I was asked this question recently in a private message from Steve. He copied my response onto the page for the Digby Wharf, as per the attached:

As indicated, the tracks were removed shortly after the ferry operations were moved to the Shore Road in May, 1971.
