Acadian Lines 118 at New Glasgow, Nova Scotia - 7 Sep 1992 (Ref 173-32)

Monday 7 September 1992 (Labour Day) (1055) – Acadian Lines 118, a 1989 MCI MC9 Crusader Special, seen at the New Glasgow (Nova Scotia) terminal when working the 0800 Halifax to Sydney trip 53. This terminal was relatively new and was located at 980 East River Plaza about 1km north of junction 25 of Highway 104 - much closer to the highway than the downtown pickup point previously used. Established by Scottish settlers in the 1700s the town was named New Glasgow in 1809. With the neighbouring towns of Stellarton, Trenton and Westville this area, located about 100 miles from Halifax, became a prominent coal mining, shipbuilding and steel production area. (Ref 173-32)
