The Prince Edward Island CN Pensioners in partnership with Service Canada and the Provincial Government, are conducting an interview-based project entitled CN Pensioners: Stories of the PEI Railway. The objectives of the project are to collect and preserve and oral history of the rialroad on Prince Edward Island, to recognize the valuable social and economic contribution made by the former railroad and by those who worked on it, and to establish a searchable oral history record that may be available to the public at large for future research.

Anyone with a story to tell including former railroad employees, their families, people who lived in railroad communities, etc are asked to please contact project manager Barb Morgan at (902) 393-9210 to arrange an interview. Interviews will be conducted until November 21, 2008.
