Mark, seeing all of these maps has caused a question to develop.

The Intercolonial Station maps all show the rail line ending at the station just before the spot where North St descends towards Upper Water St as it was back then. But I recall seeing a later aerial photo of the downtown, I think one of the ones taken prior to or during the demolition of properties for the Cogswell interchange and Scotia Square development in the 1960s, that showed a line extending to the very edge of downtown, close to Cogswell.

Any idea how that was routed from the North St area to there? It did not seem to exist at the time of the explosion.
