Missing Link 1891 (?) Between Digby and Annapolis, Nova Scotia
In major hurdle in completing the "Missing Link" between Digby and Annapolis were the train trestles required to bridge the Grand Joggin, Bear River and Moose River. In 1891 the Dominion Government intervened and "as a public service" spent $1 million to finish the Digby-Annapolis Royal section. In 1893 the Western Counties Railway was reorganized as the Yarmouth and Annapolis Railway. http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/pm.php?
