Canadian Railroads > CN Prince Edward Island ferry "Confederation" 1970

CN operated vehicle and rail car ferries from Cape Tormentine NS to Borden PEI until a bridge was completed . The MV "Confederation" is shown arriving at Borden PEI in 1970.

Rode that ferry with family and also photographed CN 70 ton diesels in operation on PEI.
Will look for those slides.

CN's MV Confederation was a passenger car and truck ferry.....no railcars. In 1975 it went to Northumberland Ferries Ltd. at the eastern end of PEI for the run between Wood Islands and Caribou, Nova Scotia. In 1993 it was replace by the new Confederation on that run and was sold to become the 'Nordik Passeur' for service on Quebec's Lower North Shore....then scrapped in 2007.

Here's NFL's Confederation today, The other ferry on the run was a a former CN vessel also.....the Holiday Island.
