Re yours just below: "We have Harvard and Princeton, nearby . .
. "<br>
<br>
[As you probably already know] Add to those former Washington,
Idaho and<br>
Montana Railway location/station names, the following: Yale,
Stanford, Vassar, <br>
Cornell and Purdue. <br>
<br>
This was "The White Pine Route". Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen
references<br>
to this rail line as the "Ivy League Route", but Stanford seems
out of place in <br>
that. <br>

seems a fairly common custom to name towns along certain
themes in a given region. We have Harvard and Princeton
nearby, for example. I lived in Lexington, KY, whose
surrounding towns included Paris and Versailles. By the way,
if you travel there, remember to pronounce the latter city
as ‘Vur- SAILS’. Louisville must be pronounced roughly as
‘LOO-vull’. And by the way, Athens is ‘AY-thuns’, and-- my
favorite Kentucky pronunciation of them all-- for the town
of Egypt, pronounce it thusly: ‘EGG-Wiped.’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
