1891 July 27
Completion of the Missing Link
On this day, the first through train ran between Digby and Annapolis, over the last section of the Halifax to Yarmouth railway to be completed. This final length of track had become popularly known as the Missing Link; it had been delayed several times because of the exceptional expense of the two large bridges required. There now was a continuous railway track between Sydney and Yarmouth. This track was owned and operated by various companies, but the daily passenger trains ran on connecting schedules.
