Source: DAR Employee's Timetable 91, taking effect 12:01am, Sunday, September 27, 1936. Issued under the authority of George E. Graham, Vice-President and General Manager, Kentville, and Laurie Ells, Superintendent, Kentville.

Notes:
This timetable shows all stations.
The main interest here is the scheduled passenger service — the scheduled daily way freight is included to complete the historical record.
On this railway line, odd numbers were assigned to trains travelling eastward, from Windsor to Truro, and even numbers were assigned to trains travelling westward, from Truro to Windsor.
Trains 2 and 1 constituted the round trip Truro - Windsor - Truro of the First Class mixed (passenger and freight) train which operated six days a week.
Trains 3 and 4 constituted the round trip Windsor - Truro - Windsor of the Second Class mixed (passenger and freight) train which operated Saturday only.
On Saturday, there were two passenger trains in the morning (one in each direction) and two more in the afternoon.
A "mixed" train carried both freight and passengers. The freight — in boxcars, flatcars, tank cars... — was coupled behind the locomotive. The passenger accomodations — baggage car, coach, combo... — were placed at the rear of the train.
