Thread Name: Folklore: Railroad Nicknames
Subject: RE: BS: Railroad Nicknames
On Vancouver Island, near where I live, there is a stretch of abandoned CN line that is called the Galloping Goose. It was named for the train that used to run on it years ago and is now a regional park used for hiking, cycling and horseback riding and I elieve is now part of the Great Canadian Trail. I'll see if I can find more information regarding the Galloping Goose, I seem to have forgotten most of what I read about the train itself. (Aged P syndrome creeping in)
