Rothesay Railway Station (European and North American)

) and which was completed in August 1860. The station was originally called the Kennebecasis Station but it was renamed in honor of the visit of the Prince of Wales (Rothesay being one of his titles).

The station was closed in 1975, though the "Atlantic" still ran as late as 1994. In 1976, the Rothesay Area Heritage Trust was formed to acquire and preserve the structure. The Trust continues to manage it today. The tracks are still in use, as Canadian National Railways operate them as a secondary mainline.
