Sooner or later, it may become necessary. This part of the Annapolis Valley is only going to become increasingly exurban.

I remember riding the Dayliner from Windsor into the train station/Westin, as a kid.
The route used to originally run from further in the Valley with a few more stops past Windsor (Ellershouse, Mt. Uniacke, Windsor Junction, and Bedford). If i can remember correctly, it ran twice a day return. The tracks are in terrible shape, and if not completely removed until Windsor Junction, and the railbed is grown in where it isn't being used as part of the Rails to Trails program.
There's talk of this route on the Active Transportation thread in the Halifax forum.
I can't remember if they allowed rail in the new Highway 101 across the Avon River. The last rendition of the line ran across the 101 causeway parallel with the roadway.
