Kingsport, Nova Scotia
Subdivision Kingsport, Mile 13.6
Previous Station: Pereau
Kingsport was the eastern terminus of the CVR branchline. It boasted a large wye with a single stall engine house where the branchline locomotive recieved light servicing and stayed overnight. Because of the short distance to Kentville, there were no water or coaling facilities. Kingsport was home to many of the regular train crews on the branchline and also a summer home to some DAR employees who owned cottages there. The railway terminated on a massive tidal wharf where trains connected with Minas Basin steamers such as the SS Prince Albert and later the MV Kipawo.
