About the Holiday Train
The CPKC Holiday Train tours Canada and the U.S. in November and December raising money, food and awareness for the important work that food banks do in their communities. Professional musicians play free half-hour concerts from the brightly decorated train's stage. Since its inception in 1999, the Holiday Train has raised more than $26 million and 5.4 million pounds of food for community food banks.
