Elmira Railway Museum

For many years, Elmira Station served as the end of the line for Prince Edward Island's railway. Today, displays of photographs, maps, material and cultural objects, a recreated station master's office, and a ladies' waiting room recount the fascinating story of railroading on the Island.

Ride into the past on our family-friendly miniature trackless train, railway speeder, and trolley! The site also features an exhibition of the original transportation links to the mainland via the railway system and one of Atlantic Canada's largest model train collections. 

Hike or bike along the scenic Confederation Trail through nearby woodlots and farmland converted from abandoned railway lines.
