Long gone are the days when a GE 70-Tonner would head out of Charlottetown with a Mixed Train for the light branch lines of eastern Prince Edward Island.
Today….you can still get a sense of what the trip was like by hiking or biking along 450kms of the ‘Confederation Trail’ that has preserved nearly the entire CN rail network on PEI.

I spent some time last weekend in the Montague area and covered a bit of the trail.
The former Station and Freight Shed are now the Town’s Tourist Centre and Marina Office.
The Trail starts just east of the station where the remains of the old turntable pit are preserved in the old yard area.
