There was a time in this fair land when the trains did not run...but, Gordon Lightfoot song lyrics aside, there was a habit of naming train cars in Canada. But once CP and CN and the like got out of the passenger rail business, and VIA didn't pick up the car-naming habit...well, this was a thing that OC Transpo picked up on for PR purposes. They organized a naming contest in preparation for the launching of O-Train Line 1, to name every car in the fleet. This was one of the winning entries.
