"Life was always an adventure growing up with a train station in my backyard. I remember I was just 5 years old when the railway took the Jitney train out of service...I was standing on the platform looking up at Mr. Penny the Stationmaster and I asked "since you don't need the Jitney anymore, can I buy it?" He laughed, patted me on the head and said,"No Jimmie, it's gone somewhere else now."
— Jimmie LeFresne

ABOUT
Our century-old Train Station and railway cars are located centrally within the vibrant and historical village of Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. Restored in the 1980's with furnishings reflecting its railway past, the station itself and its spacious cabooses & boxcars offer a unique boutique hotel, dining & shopping experience.
OUR ROOMS
The Cabooses started arriving in 1994 and date from 1911 to 1978. Each of the seven cabooses have been renovated into deluxe accommodations reflecting the age of the railway car. Queen-size beds, fireplaces, air-conditioning, TV, WiFi, railway memorabilia and private baths are just some of the amenities in the cabooses.
THINGS TO DO
Tatamagouche has a host of places to visit from cafes & bakeries, gift & antique shops, galleries, specialty stores and your mainstay facilities not to mention walking & cycling trails with bike rentals, museums & tours, markets and a microbrewery.

MEALS
At the Tatamagouche Train Station, our philosophy is Fresh is Best, which is why we started our very own garden. We invite you to browse our selection of vegetables and edible flowers, grown without the use of pesticides. After touring the gardens stop for a bite to eat at our Railway Dining Car or Jitney Cafe to see how we put our treasures to use.
