Caption: Elmira station, at the east end of the railway in PEI back in the day, was located near the end of the Elmira Spur off the Souris Subdivision. The station was preserved and in 1975 a couple of passenger cars were rolled in for future artifacts. However, due to neglect, NOT the fault of the museum personnel themselves; a wooden baggage car was lost to arson, and the car in this image, a steel sided Canadian National RPO car #9722, succumbed to deterioration from the salty climate over the years and was scrapped. All that is left of the two cars at the museum is a truck. To this day, the station, however, has been kept in great condition and the museum has flourished in recent years and is well worth a visit. There is a new building housing a riding model railway, a CN wood caboose #78431, , hand car and track into the woods has been kept; and this year one of those small community wait stations (CN Porthill) has been brought in, and is situated down the line along the approximate half mile of track that has been preserved. As mentioned in a previous caption, PEI's railway (PEIR) was built 1880s, last train Dec 31, 1989; track taken up by 1992 and the RoW bought by the provincial government in 1994 in order to form the Confederation Trail, and it is a beautiful piece of work. Elmira Station is registered in the list of Historic Places.
