CN Oxford Jct is a classic example of an early fully-equipped Intercolonial Rwy depot from back in the late 1800s. Passenger, freight, MoW and agent living quarters all in one.Immediately off to the left out of view and behind the building is the former line to the Salt Mine at Pugwash; now but a spur; the mine reverting to trucking salt to a location about 200 yds out of view since the 1980s. I understand this is now a designated Nova Scotia heritage building, and is still in situ.

    Very cool station shot. Well worth the effort to get the picture and show it here.
