Summary:
"Originally filmed in 1975 by David Stephens on 8mm film, this reproduction shows the journey of a CN train from Dartmouth to Middle
Musquodoboit
and back to
Musquodoboit
Harbour
-- a run known as the Blueberry Express. Passenger service on this route ended in 1960 and freight service continued to 1980. David Stephens is the founder of the
Musquodoboit
Harbour
Railway
Museum

"Our Heritage: The construction of
railway
lines in Nova Scotia was slow to progress until the fall of 1911 when the Dominion Government purchased
railway
plans and began constructing lines using recycled materials. The line to
Musquodoboit
Harbour
was officially opened in 1916 and became part of the Canadian National
Railway
. The
railway
line to
Musquodoboit
Harbour
ran from Windsor Junction, through Dartmouth, and then followed the shoreline, skirting beaches and fishing communities before turning inland, and eventually reaching
Musquodoboit
Harbour
. From there, it followed the river into the rolling farmlands of the
Musquodoboit
Valley. Connecting the line to
Musquodoboit
Harbour
was vital to the transportation of raw and manufactured materials from the ports in the Halifax
Harbour
and the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. Prior to the
railway
line, goods and travel was only available by boat or over very rough roads. The
railway
station at
Musquodoboit
Harbour
was the first to operate a booking station with a
railway
agent rather than a caretaker. Today, the
railway
station is a
museum
that offers a glimpse into the history of Nova Scotia's
railway
system including memorabilia, photographs, maps, artefacts, posters, tickets, and a small library."--www.mhrailwaymuseum.com.
