Morag Weatherston studied art at Edinburgh College of Art (1964-68) in Scotland, specializing in mural design and tapestry weaving. Following school emigrated to Canada. For a time, she taught art in New Brunswick, before relocating to Prince Edward Island in 1991.

The Elmira Railway Station is located in the eastern Kings area of Prince Edward Island as part of the Elmira Railway Museum. It is a wood framed building with wooden shingled cladding and roof. The building is a significant example of railway station architecture in Prince Edward Island. It was constructed in 1912 by F.S. MacDonald as the easternmost terminus to the Prince Edward Island Railway at a cost of $3,600. The branch line from Harmony Junction to Elmira opened on October 26, 1912. Passenger service ended in PEI in 1964 and the last freight was moved by rail in 1989. Many rural train stations were abandoned or turned into community centres. The Elmira Station was restored for the PEI Centennial in 1973. Today, it is an important part of the Prince Edward Island Museum and Heritage Foundation, telling the story of the significance of the railway in Island history.
