CN Pensioners, politicians give recognition to former Charlottetown Rail Station

The trains no longer run on P.E.I. and the Charlottetown train station has become an office building, but a ceremony held in the capital Wednesday Oct 12, 2005 honoured the days when steam engines and steel rails were the life blood of the island.

Member of the CN Pensioners Club joined politicians at the old station on Weymouth Street to unveil a plaque marking the building as the long-time hub of rail transport on P.E.I.

It saddened me to see this building unused all those years. People would just walk by and not notice. . .But now people will be able to look at this and see that this was the provinces train station. Robert Trainor President of P.E.I. Council of CN Pensioners

The old train station was built in 1907 by the P.E.I. Railway, which later was incorporated into the Canadian National System. It is one of three buildings remaining from CNs Charlottetown holdings. The other two are now Founders Hall and a Tourist Information center.

The former rail station is owned by the Charlottetown Area Development Corporation. General manager Les Parsons said preserving the property is part of their responsibility to the city. The building has a heritage designation so any work, maintenance or restoration, done has been within those guidelines. Exerp from Ron Ryder of the Charlottetown Guardian, Oct 12, 2005
