Of course this Canadian setting and railroad mention resulted in me looking up the wonderful Buster Keaton short, The RailRodder:

Every Frame a Painting is a terrific channel if you love movies - too bad there aren't any new ones being made.

Buster was roughly my age when he starred in The RailRodder - I certainly couldn't have done those stunts !  Using a cigarette holder didn't help with the cancer though, he died the next year at 70.
