Description & History
Windsor Junction was created in 1856 when the Nova Scotia Railway building from Halifax divided with one line going to Windsor and one line going to Truro. The Truro line eventually became the national connection to the Intetcolonial and later the Canadian National system. This made Windsor Junction a vital coonection for the DAR.
