Gord Loves Trains! In 1967, Gordon hosted and narrated a half-hour promo film for Canadian National Railroad. Starting with him singing at The Riverboat in Toronto. Then he hits the rails, showing us how modern the railroad has become. From sea to sea, we follow the freight. Watch the film here: Movin' An EP was produced along with the film, featuring Gordon on side one, with another Canadian singer Jean-Pierre Ferland on the b-side (does not appear in the film). Movin' and Talkin' Freight do not appear on any Lightfoot album. Apparently, this was given away to first class passengers for a limited time. Movin' / Allons-Y!
