Canadian Pacific Holiday Train

This train with thousands of Christmas Lights travels across Canada stopping in over 70 locations collecting food for the Food Bank. All the food collected at each location stays in that town or city. The train is decorated by dedicated CP Rail Staff.

The train left Montreal, Quebec December 1st and it took two weeks for the train to reach our small town in Alberta. One of the train cars turns into a stage with several singers who come out to sing for everyone who came out to see the train.

I must say it's a real sight to see a train coming across the prairie glowing brightly with Christmas Lights.

Hello Janice. I have seen this train before. A very colorful display for a good cause. Nice night shot of this machine on its tracks. Christmas is such a nice time of the year and moments like the one in your picture makes more worthwhile. TFS :-)

Janice,

Thanks for the note on this one - I'd sure be lost without it! ;)

What an amazing custom - I can't imagine there's another one these anywhere! (Could be wrong on that!)
