with the construction, changing over of the roI-dbed of the Prince Edward Isle-lid rsllwsy from nar- row to standard game, transfer- ring of freight and other incid- ents in action with the in- auguration of the car ferry should be of interest to the gen- oration of the present day and many incidents of this work will no doubt be recalled by the older generation.

In 1912 or 1013 s site was sel- ected at what was then known as Carleton Point for the location of the terminals while s similar site

»was selected st Capo Tormentine

on the New Brunswick shore, and the contract awarded to an Old Country nrm for the construction oi a car ferry steamer to operate the service.

The railway. commonly known as the “N. B. and 113.1. Rall- way" extending from Sackville and Cape Tormentlne was taken over by the Intercolonial Railway while the branch from Emerald to Cape ‘Traverse was used for the Island part of the service. The work o.’ constructing a branch from c“. leton to what is now known as Borden was commenced early in 1915.

In order to make the line be-

tween Sumanerslde, Charlottetown,

and Borden suitable for the ser- vice it was necessa y to strength- en the bridges, build up the road- bed and lay heavy rails over this Dirt oi the P. E. I. Railway. An interesting feature of this work ivas employment of about 50 Ger- man war prisoners, who were 1n- temed at Borden. They transfer- red all the rails at Borden and worked on the construction of the new 5M1!’ as well as on the Cape Traverse branch.

Csr Ferry lervices

The car ferry Prince Edward Island came wt early in 1015 and was during the following winter used in the service by the Marine 1761151111191“ between Charlotte- town or Georgetown and Pictou. On May 1. 1916. the ferry was taken over by the Railway and continued to operate on this ser- vice until October, 1917 when it was sent to Borden and made thc ﬁrst freight trip on Oct. 16th, on Wlllllh dill’ 32 standard cars were "loved 1mm Tormentinc while 24 loaded cars were returned. The ferry remained in the freight service until about the middle of December when the "Northumber- land.” which had been operating the 1115MB!“ and mail service be- tween Sunumerside and Point Du. Chane. discontinued on mcgumqg ice conditions. The Prince Ed- ward Island, which is now he“. 111s 35 years old and is still in excellent condition, operatgd the service until i931 when the new 8.8. Charlottetown tool; over the service and continued the work "M11 108i. while enroute to dry dock st Saint John on June l8, 1941 when the Prince Edward Isl-

and continued to operate until the

new ferry Abegweit took aver in the summer o! 1047.

The work of constructing tbs terminals was commenced in 1015 and completed in 1017. Darin‘ this time large gangs of men were engaged constructing the yard at Borden, which consisted of some 82 tracks, approximately 38,000 feet o! traokaga as well as pra- parlng the road for the standard service.

In making the yards and hack between Borden, Simimcraide and Charlottetown it was necessary to lay a third rail so that traffic could be moved from out and west of diarlottetown and Sum. mcrsidc. This work was completed and the first standard train oper- ated t0 Charlottetown on Sept. 18. 1919. After this part of the road- bed was changed it was necessary to start the work of changing the road from Summerside to trlgnish and from Charlottetown to Sous-is. Elmira. Georgetown and Murray Harbour. The first standard train W"! Operated from Sum-mcrsidc to Tignish on Aug. 1, 1923; to Souris, Elmira and Georgetown on Sept. 10, 1926. and to Murray Harbour on Sept. 29, 1930.

Freight Service During the period irom i010 to

"1926 freight from east and south

of Charlottetown was moved in both narrow and standard game cars and it was not an uncommon Sight to see a long train with 10 or 12 standard cars and probably 20 narrow gauge cars arrive at Borden on the same train, the narrow cars being on the reu- 0g the train and coupled to the standard cars by use of a "flat" eqlllmvd with movable couplers.

As stated a-bove, the tracks at Borden were constructed with the third rail which allowed either class oi cars to be moved on the same track. The work of trans- ‘enm! ‘might from standard to narrow cars or from narrow to standard required a large gtgﬂ of checkers and porters. over 100 men being employed at this work at various times.

In Setting up the carloads for transfer the larger car was placed on the middle track with 5, m". row car on each side. It usually required two cars to take thcload of a standard. 1,01, freight w“ handled at a. long shed which a1. lowed 6 or '1 standards to be spotted on one side on one track while the narrow cars were placed 0“ the °l>l>0slte side on two tracks, holding about 12 cars,

Autos. large timber and similar commodities were transferred to flat cars. For the transferring of will and gravel a high trestle was constructed on which the stand. ard cars were shunted. the con- tents dumped into a, bin and the“ Illladed through chutes from the bottccm to the narrow cars.

Striking Contrast

At that time it was necessary for the shippers to load their po- tatoes in narrow cars which were ﬁl-lﬁd. with false lining and ﬂoor; with a stove in the middle of the Cm‘ and attendants in charge

, Ilooklng aiter the ﬁres. On ar-

rival at Borden they were gpottgd up to either s. refrigerator or standard box ﬁtted in the same manner as the narrow car and transfer made, Attendants socom. panied the cars to their destina- tion. Today the shipper ha; u WP - to - date heated refrigerator placed opposite his warehouse, on any part of the Island, and pgtg. toes or turnips can be loaded without the danger of being dag-n. aged by weather condition.

In 1918. the ﬁrst year of full operation by the P. E. I. Ferry, 506 round trips between the two terminals were made as against 2,486 in 1946, the last year the P. E- I- "fr? was in service for the full year.

The winter of 1017-18 was one o! the worst years for interrupted operations by snow and ice con. dltions since the service commen- ced. The trains at that time were b91118 WDHal-ed with the narrow gauge engines and on one occas- ion there was no train out. of Borden from the 2nd to the 8th of the month, while on other oc- casions trains would be tied uip ior two or three days at l time. Ice conditions were also bad and on numerous days only one trip

Standard Eng-Ines

The first standard engines oper- sied on the Island were of the 21% class, similar to those being operated on the Murray Harbour sub-division. Today the passenger trains are being operated ‘with

used were mostly of wood con- struction. non eetibule and lamp- llghted. Contrast this with the equipment in use today, compris- ing the most up-to-date steel coaches end sleepers, similar in those used on the fsst trains on the mainland, while in the near future the use o! steam trains on the Island will be disconi-lnlwﬁ
