Grand Trunk Pacific station naming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the time that the railroaders were building the mainline of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, they had the task of finding names for the little towns along the way. Many of these towns were no more than seven miles apart and an attempt was made as far as possible to name the towns in alphabetical order.
