Dominion Atlantic Railway Track Crane No. 3.

This small self-propelled steam crane was used in the Kentville Rail Yards to move coal and cinders with a clamshell scoop. It often appears in the background of yard photos. After the demise of steam in 1958, it was parked beside the Kentville Roundhouse until it was scrapped in the early 1960s.
