While travelling through the Rockies I spent a good deal of my time in the Skyline car, which has an upper deck to maximize the view (which would be ‘to the max’ on a clear day).
I happened to visit the Skyline while a fellow with a banjo and a singing mate were performing their rendition of Peter, Paul and Mary’s ‘Freight Train’.
“Freight train, freight train, goin’ so fast,
Freight train, freight train, goin’ so fast...’
The song seemed to fit as we rolled along.
But... too bad the fellows didn’t know Gord Lightfoot’s ‘Canadian Railroad Triliogy’. I woulda loved that one!
