I just uploaded my video of Rosalie Sorrels singing a Utah Phillips song on the train as it rumbles across Canada on the Roots on the Rails trip in 2006. see it here on Youtube or here on facebook

That year, 2006, the east bound train carried Cowboys and the west bound train had the Cowboy Junkies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lPyHd1_aXU See www.flyingunderradar.com for more train adventures! Songwriter's Train, and Kings of California Train coming up

I enjoyed it, too. I'm a fan of Rosalie and Utah. One of the best concerts I've been to was when they performed together at Stone Soup. Rosalie will be back at Stone Soup this spring, and I look forward to seeing her.

That's a neat song and I really like the way she sings it. What great fun that must've been! Thanks, Laurel!

Good song and my nit picking is only with the concept of a "Train across Canada". Canada neither starts nor ends anywhere near Toronto so I question the expertise of the geography. "Cowboy Train Part Way Across Canada" would be more truthfull. :-}

Thanks Laurel, I wonderful reminder, it doesn't seem 4 years since we were on that train.

As an immigrant Nova Scotian I'm quite prepared to accept Across Canada, after all across doesn't imply completely across. The train went east from the west so that is across to me.

ah ha, mr. goodfellow of minty balls fame (is that too personal?)
I found that when the cowboys got off in toronto,
after crossing SOME of Canada, (or Cownada as i called it)
the junkies got on,
Cowboy Junkies, that is and went west across the SAME parts of canada

so all totalled it would have been more than one length of the country, eh?

Indeed, but Sandy's point is valid... after all, the Right Coast is the only reason we have a Left Coast. It's a history lesson we have been trying to teach westerners for a while. And, the scenery Down East is no less magnificent than from Uppity Canada all the way to Lotus Land. (More history... eh.)

we had all the fun we could stand...if we had any more hours or days aboard this fantastic rolling festival, we would not have been able to stand it...we had to get off somewhere!!
