Once upon a time, the station at Elmira represented the end of the line for PEI's railway; it now marks the eastern end of the Confederation Trail. This little museum explores the railway's history, and is home to the largest model railway collection in Canada. There's also a miniature train (adult/student/family $6/4/15) that winds through the surrounding forest.
