We returned to the S&L Railway museum. this time for a guided tour of the museum and a special look into the vaults to view items that are not on display to the public and I thank the staff very much for that opportunity to allow the world a peek behind the curtain. The Sydney and Louisbourg Railway Museum is located at 7330 Main St, Louisbourg Cape breton Island Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦

The largest single army construction project at Sydney in WWII was Fort Oxford, built in 1943 by E.G.M. Cape and Company of Montreal at a cost of $780,000. In 1947 and 1948, the army stripped the coastal fortifications and placed the equipment into immediate reserve at Fort Petrie and Killkenny Barracks where it could be properly preserved, ready for quick reinstallation should war again seem likely. At Oxford and Fort Lingan, only the main components of the heavy guns at were left in place under the charge of a few caretakers. In 1953 or 1954 the stored equipment was removed, possibly shipped to NATO partners in Europe still conceivably at risk of naval assault on their shores.
