The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train (CPKC) will return to the rails this season. The train will be in Mechanicville and Saratoga Springs on November 24, and Fort Edward, Port Henry, Plattsburgh, and Rouses Point on November 25.
About the CPKC Holiday Train:
CPKC is the combination of two historic railways – Canadian Pacific (CP) and Kansas City Southern (KCS). The CPKC is the first and only transnational rail network in North America. The 2023 CPKC Holiday Train tours Canada and the United States Nov. 20 through Dec. 19, raising money, food and awareness for the important work that food banks do in their communities. Professional musicians play free concerts from the brightly decorated train’s stage. CPKC makes a donation to the local food shelf at each stop and encourages attendees to also donate.
Since its inception in 1999, the CPKC Holiday Train has raised more than $22.5 million and more than 5 million pounds of food for community food banks across North America.
