Wolfville Nova Scotia - On Thursday, 16 Oct 2014, everyone at the Wolfville Public Library welcomed the launch of Gary Ness's fascinating new book, "Dominion Atlantic Railway:  1894-1994".
 
The Wolfville Library was the perfect location for this book launch, since the library used to be a DAR train station, as the railway went right through the heart of the Annapolis Valley.
 
About the Book
 
For a hundred years (1894-1994), the Dominion Atlantic Railway served the people of western Nova Scotia, from Yarmouth to Halifax, faithfully.
 
In this new addition to the "Images of Our Past" series, author Gary Ness traces the history of the line through gorgeous photographs and fascinating stories from the people who worked along the route and the passengers who used the trains to travel through the heart of the Annapolis Valley.
 
The book includes over 150 black and white photographs.
