Wasn't that also the region where the TV series "Petty Coat Junction" was filmed?

I always enjoyed the old stiff and stuffy railroad official, that kept trying to shut down their old fashioned train. I imagined him to be SP's B.F. Biagenese (can't spell) - somewhat affectionately referred too by his employees as "Old Baggy Knees"; and not so affectionately by the public, as the grim reaper of passenger trains.
