Holiday Train rolls into Northeast to benefit ESNS

The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train will stop at Lion’s Park, 37th Avenue and Stinson Boulevard, Tuesday, Dec. 11. The event is free but participants are asked to bring non-perishable food donations to support East Side Neighborhood Services’ Metro Food Programs. Pre-arrival festivities begin at 7 pm, including music, bonfires, crafts, and refreshments. The train will arrive at 7:55 pm, with a special show from 8:15-8:45 pm. The Trews and Willy Porter will perform.

The Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 brightly decorated rail cars. The cars are decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and holiday designs. In 2018, the CP train program celebrates 20 years of collecting food and raising funds for food banks across North America.
