Description & History
The railroad went through Norwood in about 1878. The first train from Yarmouth to Digby was on August 21, 1878 and just carried ballast. The railroad was open for transportation on September 29, 1878. The train station was built in Norwood in 1894 or 1895 and Mrs. Ethel Hubley’s father and mother lived there for two or three years. The last station was sold and moved to Hectanooga to be used as a shed in the early 1950’s.[1]
