Round Hill Ballast Pit
Mile 51.47 on the Kentville Subdivision
Located just west of the Round Hill station, the Round Hill Ballast Pit was the longest serving ballast pits used by the DAR providing sandy gravel ballast for the line from the steam era to the last decades of diesel. Located on the south side of the DAR mainline, it was served by a spur at Mile 51.47.[1] A variety of MOW steam shovels loaded ballast cars at the pit.
