Rick, I think you're right. However I can't find the lyrics to Canadian Pacific to confirm. If I recall rightly, it goes through a number of towns across Canada heading towards the other coast.

Hmmm. Reminds me, there was that one of Ian Tyson's? where the guy got himself stranded after playing cards on his way back to his girl.

This is certainly a lot of fun recalling these old songs from my youth.
