Purely from a musical standpoint, I think "Now And Then" would be my favorite. Everything in the song works well. Terry's acoustic fills, Pewee's steel with a chiming effect, John's basswork that keeps the song from drying up, and Jim's steady percussion.
Overall: Canadian Railroad Trilogy. I'm a railfan to begin with and in 1973 I rode Amtrak's "San Francisco Zephyr"(name has since been changed) from Reno to Oakland. In January. Over Donner Pass. I sat in the open vesitbule in the rear car on the train on a stepbox. Cold as it was Gord's description of building the Canadian transcontinental railroad rang true with me during that ride. Only instead of "Navvies" or white scandinavians building the RR we had "Coolies" and Chinese and Irish. And many are the dead men.....
