Description & History
The DAR gained access to Halifax through running rights over 15 miles of the Bedford Subdivision of the Canadian National. This access was inherited from rights granted to the Windsor and Annapolis Railway from the Intercolonial Railway. This gave the DAR to access the large terminal station and the shipping piers of Halifax.
Operations & Orders
DAR trains used the Intercolonial's North Street Station until 1919 when Canadian National shifted passenger trains to the South End where a large station was completed in 1927.
