Hello Everybody. The CP Christmas train is heading to Northern Ont out West once again (it's currently in Mid Ontario) . http://www.cpr.ca/en/community/holiday-train . You can look at the schedule and see when and if it comes close to you. Even if it doesn't stop near you, if your live anywhere near CPR tracks you can probably figure out when it is due to go by and as the Christmas lights are always on it is nice to see, especially after dark. Don't you people out West live 24/7 in darkness at this time of yr LOL .
Why am I prompting this. A) it's quite a sight a fully lit up decorated train , especially at night. B) it's free C) This yr if you make it to one of the stops you get to hear a pretty good singer , Dallas Smith, and a not bad back up band D) It's in aide of food banks E) Did I mention that it is free!!!! (alright ,your supposed to bring a food donation)
As my wife comes from a small town where they change crews we've seen it many times. She gets to visit with relatives and I get to watch the choo choo LOL. It's a small town( maybe 2000 people) , but CP not only provided the train, entertainers, etc, but they also dropped off a ck for $7000 for the local food bank .
Anyways I'm no great friend of large conglomerates, but I did enjoy myself today, and in Nov it's hard to find something cheap and enjoyable to do. Take Care. paul m P.S. if you take a picture of it this yr, you can enter a contest to take a ride on it next yr.
