Port Williams, Nova Scotia
- Halifax Subdivision (from Windsor Junction), Mile 51.34, (from Halifax), Mile 67.15
The village of Port Williams was actually on the other side of the Cornwallis River but connected by a bridge to the Port Williams Station and several large businesses served by the DAR. Before WW II, they included five Fruit Warehouses including some of the first first apple warehouses built on the DAR. After WW II, Port Williams hosted two large poultry producers, C&M Ells and Archibald Farms Limited as well as Canada Packers flour, feed and poultry plant and the Canadian Petrofina, later West Nova bulk fuel plant.
