CPKC Christmas Holiday Train returns to northwestern Ontario this week as part of Canadian Pacific Kansas City’s annual cross-country holiday tour. The tradition, detailed on CPKC’s official Holiday Train page, brings a rolling holiday show with live music to several northern communities.

This is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Northwestern Ontario welcomes CPKC Christmas Holiday Train

At every stop along the route, the train’s built-in stage turns into a short live concert. These performances add to the calendar of northwestern Ontario train concerts and are used to raise money and collect local food bank donations in each community, a focus also emphasised in Railway Supply’s coverage of the CPKC Holiday Train.
