Scotch Village, Nova Scotia

Subdivision Truro, Mile 9.86

This is where I (Samuel) believe the station used to be Google Map; as when I was a child I grew up in Scotch Village and I remember my dad telling me that's where the station was.

Some general information about the station which I got from a conversation from a long time friend of the family Laurie Strong.

He believes the station might have been about 50' long and about 25' wide and the station being painted yellow with a brown trim. Plus he recalled seeing a siding there that would hold maybe 3-4 boxcars. The station it self he believes was torn down back in the late 70's early 80's as it was gone when my family moved to Scotch Village it was in 1983 or 1984.
