Winter on the DAR Gallery
Every winter, the Dominion Atlantic Railway waged the classic Canadian railway battle with snowstorms and drifts. Some storms, like the winter of 1905, became legendary. All winters put the DAR's snow plows to the test during the holiday travel season and the demanding apple shipping season.
Certain sections of DAR trackage were notorious for massive snow drifts, such as Horton Landing, Grand Pre, and most of the North Mountatin Line to Weston, especially Grafton. The DAR responded with snow fences and planting long lines of windbreak trees provided by the DAR's Kentville Greenhouse.
On the positive side, winter made for many fine railway images of trains and stations outlined in evocative fields of ice and snow as they confronted winter. They still remind us of of a railway and its workers that kept going despite hostile winter conditions.
