Prince Edward Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Edward Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In 1871, the colony began construction of a railway and frustrated by Great Britain's Colonial Office, began negotiations with the United States. In 1873, Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald, anxious to thwart American expansionism and facing the distraction of the Pacific Scandal, negotiated for Prince Edward Island to join Canada. The Federal Government of Canada assumed the colony's extensive railway debts and agreed to finance a buy-out of the last of the colony's absentee landlords to free the island of leasehold tenure and from any new migrants entering the island. Prince Edward Island entered Confederation on July 1, 1873."
The railroad was the largest, single employer of PEI – a steady source of well paying jobs.
The trains got through in all but the worst weather, and life in many communities revolved around the railway station and the bustle that surrounded arrival and departure times. The railroad was the largest, single employer of PEI – a steady source of well paying jobs. Communities prospered or faded, depending on how close they were to the main line. Reciting the stations along the line – in order – became a favourite memory exercise for Island schoolteachers.
