        Cornell and Purdue. <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

        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>
