Dominion Atlantic Railway Coach No. 3 "Juno"
This wooden first class passenger car was built by Rhodes, Curry & Co. of Amherst, N.S. in 1893 for the Windsor and Annapolis Railway, just before the merger with the Western Counties Railway which created the Dominion Atlantic in 1894. Retaining the name "Juno", it became DAR No. 3. It was scrapped in Kentville 1937.

Dominion Atlantic Railway Track Crane No. 3.
This small self-propelled steam crane with a clam shell scoop which loaded coal into locomotive tenders at the Kentville Roundhouse until 1943 when the Kentville Coaling Tower was built. After the tower, No. 3 emptied the ash pit and loaded ballast cars with cinders as well as serving as back-up coaling equipment when the coaling tower froze up in winter. The crane operator for many years was Albert Lockwood, assisted by a fireman. Crane No. 3 often appears in the background of yard and roundhouse photos. After the demise of steam in 1958, it was parked beside the Kentville Roundhouse until it was scrapped in the early 1960s. The crane was scrapped at the old Oak Island Ballast Pit in by Joseph Fritz's scrap metals in New Minas.[1]
