Comments on: Almost nothing left on the “gentle island” but memories these days…….but even back in the day rail traffic was sporadic. After all, with only 140,000 people on the whole island/province, how much activity could there be? I was lucky to catch a local working Kensington. CN 1752 and 1751, a pair of RSC-18s, were just heading out of town toward Summerside, if I recall correctly, was I was heading in. The Sidekick and I were meeting friends for dinner, otherwise I would have gladly followed this train around longer than the half hour I did. All rail activity on the Island was gone by 1990; but this province is still a great place to visit, and besides, there is a solitary locomotive on display in Kensington still, CN 1762, as well as a beautiful stone station. (the map location is probably a bit off; no rail left to help with “X” marks the spot.)

Another great PEI shot Mr. Mooney! Please keep them coming. As for the 1762, check out my photo 36460 on this site.

Very nice. You do realize what some people would do for 30 minutes of railroading on PEI…
