About The Old Prince 1871
Construction began on the Prince Edward Island Railway (PEIR) in 1871 … the rest is a financial catastrophe. Criticized as the most crooked railway in the world (both physically and financially), Prince Edward Island was nearly at a full economic collapse within a year. In 1873, Prince Edward Island dumped the PEIR onto Canada and joined the Canadian Federation. The years that followed showed an economic boom for the island and the railroad operated until the 1980s. This game is not attempting to recreate the history of the island, but borrows its history and geography to explore a new narrative about the island’s Old Prince Edward Island Railway.
