Greeting the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train (http://www8.cpr.ca/cms/English/General+Public/Holiday+Train/default.htm) has become one of our families’ Christmas Traditions.
The CP Holiday Train travels across Canada stopping at many communities along the way to share a short Christmas program and to collect money and non perishable food items for local food banks.
This year the weather cooperated–it was a night without wind, rain, and snow.
These are some of the pictures I took of the decorated rail cars.
One of the boxcars holds the entertainers. This year’s entertainment was provided by, The Odds. http://www8.cpr.ca/cms/English/General+Public/Holiday+Train/Bios/default.htm
Even the jolly red guy made an appearance!
What a fabulous tradition – loved the photos.
How did I miss this post? I love the pictures of the lights! How interesting to display them on the passing train. No wonder you were in a hurry to get out to see it.
