Confederation Trail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Although highly unlikely in Prince Edward Island's case, the concept of 'rails to trails' is based on the premise that abandoned rail corridors should be preserved as recreational trails in order to 'rail bank' these transportation arteries should the need for a future conversion back to rail usage arise.[citation needed] Prince Edward Island will likely not see this occur as the connection to the North American rail network was removed on May 31, 1997 when the ferry system to the mainland that had been used for carrying rail traffic was replaced with the Confederation Bridge."
