Always brings a thought to me.... greater % of fatal transport accidents caused by "pilot error" ----> maritime or aviation?

Canadian Railroad Trilogy might be his best song.


Agreed. And I think his most popular was "Sundown", and I can't stand that one!

from wiki:
quote:

The song was commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to celebrate the Canadian Centennial in 1967. "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" describes the building of the trans-Canada Canadian Pacific Railway, the construction work on which was completed in 1885. The CPR was incorporated in 1881 and merged with the Kansas City Southern Railway in 2023 to form the Canadian Pacific Kansas City.

Writing and composing it took him three days.[1]
