Sorry to read the passing of Canadian singer Sass Jordan. Sad news. Her songs were certainly in the rotation on the former 1260 AM CIHI in Fredericton and now Bounce 105.3 FM. High Road Easy was a blistering song! m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5eSOG… Sympathies to her family and fans.

Last time I was on a passenger train in New Brunswick was Fall of 1990. From Fredericton Junction to Ontario where I went to broadcasting school. Used VIA regularly between Toronto and Montreal to go to hockey games and a concert and it was inexpensive. Wish Atlantic Canada had passenger service.
