Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax Subdivision (from Halifax), Mile 0

Next station west: Armdale

The DAR gained access to Halifax through running rights over 15 miles of the Bedford Subdivision of the Intercolonial (later 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 Canadian National's Halifax station and the shipping piers of Halifax.
