Annapolis Royal Enginehouse
Annapolis Royal Enginehouse
The first enginehouse in Annapolis Royal was a large structure, 120 feet long x 58 feet wide, and included an enclosed turntable.[1] It held three locomotives.[2] It was built in 1868 to serve as the engine terminal for the Windsor and Annapolis Railway, but was destroyed in a fire on March 11, 1896.[3] A replacement engine house was built. It remained for many years behind the station, later used for storage.[4]
