New Minas Ballast Pit
Mile 52.2 from Windsor Junction on the Halifax Subdivision. (Mile 70.7 from Halifax) at New Minas
A new ballast pit in New Minas opened not far away at Mile 52.2 in the 1960s.[1] The Joseph Fritz scrap metal business was located just above the ballast pit and used the pit to scrap railway equipment in the 1960s, including Crane No. 3, the old Kentville yard crane.[2]
