CPKC Holiday Train

The CPKC Holiday Train typically stops in Woodstock at 199 Winniett St. in late-November. Watch for the 2026 schedule and performers to be announced sometime in October!

We will be collecting donations for the Salvation Army Woodstock. In lieu of canned goods, we encourage you to make a monetary donation, which will be used to purchase fresh food options for The Salvation Army’s HOPE market.

The Salvation Army will also be serving hot chocolate at the event.

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 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.

Rail Safety for Drivers and Pedestrians

Stop, look, and listen for trains.
Don’t cross when lights are flashing, a bell is sounding, or gates are down — even when a train is stopped.
Keep yourself and your vehicle a minimum of 5 metres from the nearest rail.
For emergencies, call the emergency number on the sign at the crossing or call 911.
