Dominion Atlantic Railway Coach No. 6, "Graciosa"
Graciosa was built in 1869 by the Windsor and Annapolis Railway at their Kentville Car Shop as a First Class car. It was converted to Boarding Car No. 851 in June of 1915 and scrapped in 1939. With its "monitor top" and distinct scalloped siding, this car was a long-lived survivor from the pioneering days of the line.
