If the railway is within 20 miles the racoon probably rode the rails into the area. Or maybe a trucker gave him a ride. Raccoons don't typically range that far north but then again species do expand their territories too. I've been seeing a stellar jay near Edmonton and their range is usually 300 miles south.
