Annapolis Royal Station
Annapolis Royal has had at least three different train stations, maybe more. The first, dating from 1869 we presume would have been on, or near the wharf, where the Windsor and Annapolis Railway terminated. A second, "Frogmore"is pictured here, would have dated from 1891, and was located just west of St. George Street, where the railway cut is still evident. It burned in 1913 and was replaced by an 'Arts and Crafts" style brick building just east of St. George Street in 1913. (1)
No. 25, Strathcona with a westbound express at the Annapolis Royal Station. Note also the freight shed and the bulk fuel facility behind the station.
