These trains were powered by coal-burning steam locomotives.
Train no. 12 carried students from the Kingsport-Canning-Sheffield Mills
area to the Kentville Academy (high school) in the morning,
and Train no. 13 took them back home at the end of the school day.
The morning train schedule was arranged to arrive at Kentville
in time for the beginning of the school day, and the afternoon
schedule departed Kentville after classes ended.

DAR Public Timetable taking effect 12:01am, Sunday, September 25, 1949.
Issued under the authority of A.A. Dunphy, Manager, Kentville.

Notes:
This timetable shows all stations.
These trains were scheduled to match the Kentville school class times; high school students living in the Kingsport - Canning - Centreville areas travelled to Kentville for their daily classes (in the 1940s these trains supplied the student transportation service now performed by school buses operated by the school board).
Mill Village is now (2000) called Steam Mill, and Ford Crossing is Gibson Wood.
These trains originated at Kingsport; the locomotive remained in Kingsport overnight.
