The enginehouse at Windsor was one of the first on the line, built by the Nova Scotia Railway in the 1850s to service and turn locomotives when they railway reached Windsor. It included a turntable enclosed by an octagonal structure. It was taken over by the Windsor & Annapolis Railway and later the Dominion Atlantic when they leased they leased the Windsor Branch structures. By 1912 the turntable enclosure had been removed. The engine house and turntable were located on the north edge of Fort Edward Hill. The enginehouse was later demolished and covered by the DAR's Windsor Railyard, probably in the World War I era.
