More "guess that place" postcard fun
Now this is one I knew as soon as I saw it.... I'm looking for the name of the place, and there are bonus points involved if you can name that railway....and extra bonus points if you know the name of a song about the railway.

Agawa Canyon, Ontario.
very good, anonymous. And the railway and the song?
geography is my strong point, not music!
i could google it but that would be cheating.
OK.... The railway is the Algoma Central, and the song is Algoma Central 69, by Stompin Tom Connors:
She's on a bar hoppin spree back in Sault Ste. Marie,
Because of me she's now fallen star.
She could have been true, but I left her in the Soo,
& I travelled north upon the ACR
Chorus:
But if it's go home or be a roamer I've made up my mind
So take me home tonight Algoma Central 69
I was workin one day when I heard this fella say
he met my girl while drinkin at the bar
Though we fought between us two, still he swore that it was true-
Now I curse that day I rode the ACR
Chorus: But if it's go home or be a roamer, I've made up my mind..
Solo
Though it might be in vain, here I wait for the train,
I hope it's not too late to right the wrong
When she rolls around the bend, we'll be southbound again,
C'mon old ACR wheels move along.
First Verse:
She's on a bar hoppin spree, back in S. S. Marie,
Because of me she's now a fallen star
She could have been true, but I left her in the Soo,
& I travelled north upon the A.C.R.-
Chorus:
Repeat second line.
Stompin Tom rocks. A true gem. I'll check that particular song out.
