2015 Canadian Pacific Holiday Train

Had the good fortune to see the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train as it made it's stop in Columbus, WI.   The Holiday Train has 14 rail cars decorated with hundreds of thousands of LED lights and holiday designs.​  It starts in Montreal and visits 150 communities in Canada and the United States.

As they make a stop, the sides of one rail car opens up and there is a live music performance including an appearance by Santa.   Along with bringing holiday cheer, Canadian Pacific Rail encourages people to bring food and donate money to local food pantries.
