Rail tracks still run between the Nova Scotia communities of Windsor and Hantsport, but it's been nearly a decade since any train carrying gypsum from a local mine has passed over them.
Despite that, the Nova Scotia government is spending $7.4 million on a new train tunnel and a rail overpass as part of the Highway 101 twinning project.
A 98-metre-long, $4.3-million rail tunnel under Highway 101 in Windsor will be finished in a couple of weeks. It means the rail tracks below the highway will remain in place, even though there are no trains using them.
