Experiencing the CP Holiday Train in Calgary - Dec 9, 2023

The CP Holiday Train began these tours in 1999. It operates in a charitable way to raise money, food donations and awareness for food banks across Canada.

The train was scheduled to arrive at Anderson C-Train Station at 6:45pm on December 9, 2023, and we got to the area almost an hour early. Good thing – traffic was heavy and we had to park about half a kilometer away. But we got a great spot to watch the arrival.

A big part of the Holiday Train event is the free concert – in Calgary, Colin James, and Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Band, were the main performers. They were all clearly pumped by the turnout, and the concert was a lot of fun.
