Falmouth Station
First Station 1869-1888
Falmouth initially had a 26' x 15' station with a 120' x 12' station platform.[1]
Second station 1888-1959
A small Windsor and Annapolis Railway style station with a gothic window was built in 1888.[2] The baggage room was later extended to make it a medium-sized station. It survived until 1959 when it burned or was demolished.
