  • The Dominion Atlantic Railway (reporting mark DA) was a historic railway which operated in the western part of Nova Scotia in Canada, primarily through an agricultural district known as the Annapolis Valley. The Dominion Atlantic Railway was unusually diverse for a regional railway, operating its own hotel chain, steamship line and named luxury trains such as the Flying Bluenose. It is credited with playing a major role in developing Nova Scotia's tourism and agriculture industries. The DAR's corporate headquarters were originally located in London, United Kingdom, until 1912, followed by Montreal, Quebec, but was always operationally headquartered in Kentville, Nova Scotia, where the railway retained a unique identity and a high degree of independence until the end of the steam era. A depiction of Evangeline from the poem Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie published in 1847 by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was incorporated into the DAR logo along with the text 'Land of Evangeline Route'. The company is still legally incorporated and files annual returns with the Nova Scotia Registry of Joint Stock; its headquarters are now in Calgary, Alberta. Portions of the line were operated by the Windsor and Hantsport Railway until 2011. (en)
  • Dominion Atlantic Railway era una storica società ferroviaria canadese che operava mediante una rete ferroviaria sita nella parte occidentale della Nuova Scozia e in particolare nel distretto agricolo di Annapolis Valley. La sede principale della società era a Londra fino al 1912; in seguito Montréal, Quebec ma la sede operativa fu sempre Kentville, in Nuova Scozia, dove la ferrovia mantenne una propria identità e un elevato grado di autonomia fino alla fine della trazione a vapore. Il logo della compagnia incorporava la scritta "Land of Evangeline Route"; Evangeline è la protagonista del poema "A Tale of Acadie" pubblicato nel 1847 da Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.Dominion Atlantic era una società dagli interessi variegati in quanto operava oltre che con i suoi treni anche con una propria catena alberghiera, una linea di piroscafi e un treno di lusso, denominato "Flying Bluenose". Ebbe di fatto un ruolo importante nello sviluppo del turismo e dell'agricoltura della Nuova Scozia. Dal 1911 passò sotto il controllo della Canadian Pacific Railway. (it)
